The term has become so ambiguous it's verging on irrelevance
Glancing through the major OEM’s webpages, you’ll find a smattering of edge appliances ranging from full-fat servers to industrial PCs designed for harsh operating environments. The trouble being that a system designed for an edge datacenter is going to look and function completely different than something designed to work in an industrial setting.
A system bound for a manufacturing plant, on the other hand, may be required to operate at temperatures in excess of 85C or in high humidity with minimal airflow and limited power for weeks or months on end. These are not conditions conducive to your typical server, and so a special designation, like “rugged” or “industrial,” is not only warranted but arguably a better description than calling it an edge appliance.
