Thinking about it, at 6500 rpm at the stripe I’m sure the bypass is open on my oil pump. My motor spends a good deal of its life with oil by passing the filter.
I think you are missing the bypass function. The bypass is in the oil pump. When it starts bypassing, it moves a valve that dumps excess pressure into the intake side of the pump, returning to the pump. No oil " bypasses the filter " to the engine, .
