I agree too, I saw the pressure gauge go to near zero on a test flight pre
take off check once. Blocked filter which was visibly clear at start up.

The other thing that affects fuel pressure is minor air leaks on the
suction side of the pump(s). Their displacement is limited and won't accept
any significant volume of gas.
