Short description of error
The mesh of of collection instance objects doesn't get exported to stl.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open Blender.
Create a collection.
Add some meshes into the collection.
Create a collection instance of said collection.
Export that instance object to Stl format. If you have "Selection only" option checked, make sure that the instance object is selected.
Import the file back into Blender or open it in some other software.

Mesh data is missing. If you exported some other mesh objects alongside collection instance object, those get exported correctly.

Seems to be the same for .fbx Export
Exported objects from standard collection alongside object from collection instance to Unity, Objects from collection instance are missing.

Is this still an issue with 2.83?

I just tested it on version 2.83 (April 29, 23:29:19 cd833d887995).
Collection instances still don't get exported into stl or fbx.
Sample file: export_test.blend

Issue is prevails in blender:2.93

Would be nice to have instanced collection export working as it aids in organising complex cad models into separable subsection and reorient them for 3d printing.
