And this is exactly that we’re trying to address. Not the impurity of the function, not the performance, but the potential to misuse.

collect does not say anything about the transformation (A => B) that happens along the way…

Honestly, I don’t see why. Can you elaborate? The second one is perfectly consistent, it does not mix two different functor instances in the same function.
