I think the edge compute on the 5G towers is mostly an industry application in dedicated private networks rather than public networks for end users. For example, a factory might use 5G as their wireless networking stack (instead of Wi-Fi) to collect sensor data from machines, robots, process nodes, moving inventory, etc and place the compute at the tower to filter what data to forward to the cloud, or to implement some control logic.
