That is yellow (medium pressure) and a few isolated spikes of red (high pressure)
First I would verify your software is up to date—The current stable release of Monterey including bug fixes, is macOS 12.4
Keep your Mac up to date - Apple Support

You can reboot more often and compare your results.
Swap used is VM (Virtual Memory) I would trust on a new machine you have adequate free storage available.
I would look at those third party apps for updates...
For Safari I would disable all extensions/plug-ins an test for incompatibility.
You should be able to see from your Activity Monitor which apps are the issue.
" multiple google drives" (?)...
One Drive is known to cause issues. OneDrive help & learning - Microsoft Support
You can trouble shoot further:
—SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
Takes a bit longer to get to the login screen, does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS

In addition to the solid advice by leroydouglas: if you want us to look at other potential causes,
Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.

Are you saying your Memory pressure is in the red.....(?)
Can you verify your OS is up to date:

What I'd really need to know is: "exactly what is this computer doing?" How much RAM does it have? If you look at "Activity Monitor," how much memory is each application demanding? Are you running any software that was developed in-house, which might have a "memory leak" bug in it? This post is lacking these important details.
