While I'd personally prefer all the Edge:// pages available in all versions, I can maybe understand them limiting access in the stable version at this point in its development (as do Mozilla in Firefox Preview). But not in the beta.

So Android Edge is missing this feature that both old and new Firefox and Google Chrome Android browsers have, along with all the desktop browsers.

Whatever Mozilla is doing with their new experimental browser for Android is their own business. they are not even using Chromium.
Google chrome on Android, Stable, allows users to access flags page and other internal pages, there is no reason Microsoft blocking it on their Edge stable/beta channels for Android.
flags being there would most likely allow us to access reading view and all other features that are available in Chromium but hidden from users.
