What will the collapse BUY for you ?

Actually ... just looking at the object the way you have it rigged ... using collapse seems counter-intuitive on a purely visual ... speculative level. Dissolve all the selected edges. Select new isolated vertices. Dissolve them.

Is this not what you need at the modelling level ?

Dissolving won't change the topology of the mesh while collapsing will.
That is the reason, to change the topology.
