Netflix does but it is not that big size wise. It downloads current hot content. With COVID-19 a lot of long tail is now being consumed, not enough to push it onto the cache boxes but enough to strain the interconnects. When Altered Carbon 2 is released, it will be on the Netflix box because a good number of people at the edge would be requesting it. On the other hand some independent flick won't be on it because there are only a few devices requesting it at the same time.
Google used to have some search appliances, which they gave to ISPs. It is not the same thing.
Apple used to use Akamai for distribution of content because of racks that Akamai had in lots of edge networks. I do not know if they are still using it but I expect they do. Akamai has an enormous foot print.
