Would a pinched line be visible? The hoses look good… from the outside of course. No sharp bends.

Not always.
They can collapse internally if they are metal outside. Like where they turn into the wheel.
They don't have to completely collapse. Just enough for restriction.
Bleed all your brake lines and leave the master cylinder open but covered to keep dirt out.
Try doing the exact same thing you did and see if it locks up.
At worst you flushed old shite out and will have to just refill and bleed.
Don't spill brake fluid on anything painted. It's corrosive.

Pinched (think like a bend) yes, collapsed not so much. Hard to see/notice if even possible. I would start by changing the brake fluid, bleeding and go from there. Pending, the bike hasn’t been recently worked on or damaged.
