Yeah, Fly isn't "edge" as defined in the US, but sort of is as defined in India.
CloudFlare, CloudFront etc tend to have one or two edge PoPs in India, and one in Singapore, and Fly has one (upcoming) in India, which is coincidentally in the city where I live. So for me, Fly and CloudFlare and CloudFront have servers a few blocks away.
Same case for Singapore — everyone has an edge there.
But of course for the rest of the world it depends. The full blown CDNs will try to put edges in every city, but Fly and AWS Outposts will likely be few per continent / one per timezone / country.
