In addition to what others have said, it can also indicate different issues on different printers. Is it a core-xy or bedslinger?

If it's not just an issue with a dished bed, there could be twist along your x-axis which are moving the nozzle (or probe) slightly further from the bed in the middle. Could be wire/bowden routing putting a slight strain on the toolhead.

Do the mesh results look roughly the same when cold versus, say, a 30 minute heat soak?

It's an Ender 3 v3 CoreXZ. The filament sensor is on the right side. It is possible that when it reaches the right most side, it 'bends' the pfte/cables to its maximum and they put a strain? If so, how do I remedy it?
