the simplest explanation is that the media are using the wrong words and terminology to explain what happened.

Simplest answer = they are going to have an election.

Collapse is deliberately a US centric way of sensationalising a totally normal occurrence for parliamentary democracy. From the American perspective it’s disastrous for a government to “collapse” but this is 100% built in normal thing for coalition governments to do. It happens all the time and won’t lead to looting, the purge or a breakdown of Dutch society. it just leads to annoying election adds and blowhards telling you who is to blame for the problems you face.
