If this has been talked about elsewhere I apologize, reading 385 pages of titles wasn't happening and I couldn't think of a good search term.
If the Collectors are so interested in anyone "associated with Shepard" that they go to Haven on the rumor that Alenko/Williams is there, why didn't they just pick up all of the life pods from the Normandy SR1 when they blew it up? Why was Shepard allowed to drift down to the planet? There is absolutely no reason for them not to take their time scavenging the whole system for the crew and every scrap of Shepard related DNA they can find. Even a simple message from an Alliance battle group responding to Joker's mayday with an ETA would have helped.

The pilot of the Collector ship was drunk that day and assumed all aboard perished.

The collectors wanted Shepard out of the way since he stopped Sovereign. I think afterwards Harbringer decided it would be better if they could study Shepard.

This to is a possible answer.

Plot. That's why. Perhaps they only wanted to kill Shepard at the beginning, and then only when he returned from the dead were they interested. Sometimes you have to let go of common sense in regards to plot.
Like with Jack. Why the hell would a powerfull biotic be stored anywhere without the removal of her L implant. If you read the codex without the implants biotics can move pencils, a glass of water, ect. You'd think even without that logic they'd have just vented the atmosphere, but no, she's too valuable to kill. It's for the benefit of the plot, and in turn our enjoyment of the game.

No, because Collector's were trying to buy his corpse before that, so there's still a hole to fill. Personally, I think the "Let's kill this guy" thing is essentially right, but something else changed Harbinger's mind shortly thereafter.

That's not so hard:
1. Purgatory don't make no money from dead prisoners. Live ones are also good for extorting reluctant clients.
2. The newer implants can actually be a bunch of quite tiny and numerous devices placed in all sorts of different locations around the CNS, and have a degree of inbuilt amplification (Jack has a system like this one, it seems, in addition to being well to the right on the biotic bell-curve to begin with). Earlier models weren't distributed systems, but they still required tricky neurosurgery. At best, you could remove their external amps, but you couldn't "disarm" them biotically without a well-stocked operating theatre. Whatever the implant type, it'd be rather expensive to undo, and very possibly lethal (see number 1).
There's nothing wrong with those justifications, and really, the whole tale is contrived. Every last event. That's simply the nature of fiction, period.
