Description

The title says it all, currently we use Requires for collect_results. We should not do that as Julia natively supports conditional dependencies via the extensions. See here for how to do it: https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/dev/creating-packages/#Conditional-loading-of-code-in-packages-(Extensions)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement Julia 1.9 extensions to replace Requires for collect results and Dataframes. See the Julia package documentation for conditional loading.
