Indeed because here is a more "extreme" example of the problem with it.
I couldn't even clip the before shot of it after leaving the zone it was so long but you will have to just take my word that it was about to activate if they touched the puck again.
Regardless why is there any meter still filled up after almost a full minute in their zone?

That's not how it works (pressure building from a simple puck possession). If they manage to obtain the puck immediately after it was in possession of your team (a turnover) this will cause the meter to increase. Simply touching the puck does not add to the meter.
As for why their pressure remained 1/2 full after being pressured in their own zone, I think this is because not only did your team constantly turn it over in their zone - your team also didn't manage to generate a single scoring chance (or a single shot) while full pressure was activated. I think this gives the defending team a head-start in obtaining their own full pressure when going the other way. It's like a reward for superb defending while under full pressure.
