both things are true. having edge nodes cuts latency between the client and edge, but it also allows priority for longer distances if you have a private network connecting your edges.

Prioritization is absolutely required for any safety critical application (remote control in a bunch of different fields). No matter how over-provisioned a network is it can always be flooded, and for a safety critical applications that is unacceptable.

For the high value applications of the future guaranteed low latency delivery is an absolute requirement. You cannot get that with "net neutrality" rules.

The only reason to impose rules that make next gen applications impossible on public networks is to decrease competition for private networks.
