Well, edge cache doesn't appear to be brand new (I found https://www.c8k3.com/blog/caching-in-apples-new-cache-program https://www.c8k3.com/blog/caching-in-apples-new-cache-progra... which dates from Dec 2019) but it does appear to be an analogue to programs like the one you helped build at Netflix. So while they probably have been doing this in some limited fashion (e.g. through direct outreach), it is entirely possible your own ISP wasn't included. Hopefully your download speeds will increase if/when your ISP signs up for the program.
I'm not sure what you mean that this is being "opened up to the public now". This seems to be limited to ISPs as far as I can tell. I'm not sure who, other than an ISP, would be doing 25Gb/s of Apple-content related traffic.
