A company cannot be forced to collect sales tax outside of it's physical location. Pardon my ignorance, but I thought technically companies are only required to PAY sales tax, which they pass on to customers. Isn't a store free to forgo collecting sales tax as long as it still pays the state?

Not so. The retailer acts as unpaid tax collector for the state.
