I don't understand why discovery is affected here?

<li>For edge computing, "locality" is about network latency (and perhaps other properties,
such as connection reliability or bandwidth) but there may also be requirements
directly related to physical location, for example to satisfy regional privacy requirements.
In such a case, the geolocation of both the edge computer and the device using it
may be relevant.</li>
