Default Pressure for Webers or other Carbs

I have a question. I understand the needle and seat can only handle a certain amount of pressure. However, if this is not an issue with the needle and seat why is pressure so important. Carbs are not like FI that it is important to have a high pressure for spray pattern. In a carb you are just filling a bowl which will then grab the fuel from engine vaccum.

Wouldnt volume be more important?

So why is pressure in a carb so important.

Thanks
