I'm wondering why my Femoral and Inguinal hernias didn't show up on the CT, MRI and ultrasound testing I've had done over the years.
I am hoping that this is the right group to ask this question, thank you.

Being upright and standing does contribute to the outward abdominal pressure gradient simply by virtue of the effects of gravity and the weight of abdominal organs and fat/adipose tissue. But certainly the benefits of walking theough maintaining a healthy weight is a stronger benefit of walking to limit/minimize a hernia than any adverse contribution. Walking, in and of itself, will not cause a hernia.
