Well as far as usefulness of a burst/collapse for us regular people, that is a good question. I have heard arguments for military applications, racing, off road, and mud bogging, but none for regular drivers. I would love to hear any thoughts on this.
I am in a unique spot as a third party filter testing lab. I want to help us regular drivers get the most out of their vehand clear some things up, and help manufacturers achieve better performance.
Perhaps more pressure vs flow could be done instead of collapse, that's a very valid point.
The testing you want to see is the holy grail for drivers, and many manufacturers as well. I do have to put food on the table, however I would love to do all of what you propose.
