Pyro and staining

I tried developing a collodion negative using pyro, not a gelatin based
one. I even tried to "stain" my negative by soaking it in the developer
after fixing to try and build up a stain. None occurred.

While Pyro helped build density I suspect the staining folks talk about is
in the gelatin vs being associated with the image "silver".

So here is my conjecture.
If Pyro staining is associated with the image why does it not stain
collodion negatives?
