Oil pressure Just verifying, the oil pressure gauge should read the same pressure at the oil sensor as it does at the port on the side of the oil pan? There should be no difference correct?
Edit--- GEN III 5.3 LM7. 2003 Tahoe motor swapped into my 2005 chevy colorado. In case that is needed.

how and why is it allowed?
Why: near impossible to stop. Would require 24/365 human intervention and some means of detecting an AI in real time. I would hope that the forum mgmt deletes these things after a few days and it becomes obvious that it's not a real person. They're generally REAL eeeeeeezzzzy to spot; nearly always totally dart-board-level random first & last names, in CamelCase format, half the time of a gender that doesn't match the forum's predominant users. Like, a female userID with 2 plainly different ethnicities or a first name that nobody has called their kid for 75 years, on this forum, posting inane babble about "the update"; always with no actual mention of the actual topic and no actual contribution whatsoever, even a negative one.
Why do they do it: that, to me, is the mystery. I'm guessing that there are some forums that expose e-mail addresses and whatnot, and the pervs and scammers are hoping to land on one such.

There will be a pressure differential if that port is before the filter. The filter causes a slight drop, and different filters will cause greater differences than other filters. Post filter, the pressure will be the same throughout the engine.

Yes, more or less. After the filter there's nothing but passages about ½" dia until the split-offs that go to the various bearings and whatnot. Which as detailed, aren't "perfect", butt shouldn't be a major factor unless you're trying to run in the Street Outlaw show or something.
The filter shouldn't cause more than acoupla pounds of pressure drop, in any case. It even has a bypass valve inside that opens when the pressure drop across it exceeds some amount indicating that it's plugged up and doing more harm than good. Usually something in the 5 - 7 psi kinda range in most filters.
