Why not? Gravity is (probably) mediated by a particle, and therefore all matter will interact with all other matter ... so why shouldn't gravity therefore cause a collapse?

Electromagnetism is also mediated by particles (photons) and the quantum states can survive a lot of electromagnetic interactions without collapsing.
