I agree that forms are a better fit for more complicated use-cases with multiple fields and options. And I can see that the benifit of a single-click "yes" vs. a manually typed "yes" isn't super high.
But I think you are missing the second half of the protoXEP, which is actions. Actions have a lot more potential under the hood, examples are:
- a "merge now" action for a Git bot that notifies a about a new merge request
- a bot that does polls/votes in MUCs
I think that this can't easily be mapped to forms and that Actions are a super simple extension that allow for a variety of different interesting bots.

One example use-case for Quick Response is the memberbot, which asks yes/no multiple times during membership voting. Memberbot does not use a form to ask for yes/no, but a plaintext message. The idea of Quick Response is to enable memberbot to tell clients that "yes" and "no" are possible answers, so that clients can offer convenient UI to quickly select one of these possibilities. I think forms would be helplessly overkill here.
Well, forms are a good standard way of presenting a user with different buttons and options. It can be used for any kind of bots in a fairly straightforward way.
I think that bloating a number of XEPs that are to be supported by various application developers is wrong way to go.
In short, we are unlikely to support this.
