The edges are still within the standard diameter of a CD. The shape is cut out of a standard CD. This means these CDs have a smaller capacity, but they look neat.

But with it being a custom shape, it means that slot-loading CD players or external optical drives like Apple's SuperDrive will have problems trying to align the disc to the center.

Don't you start too
It's not stupid to not know about a curiosity from 30 years ago. You had a valid question.

Yes. But screw Apple
Back when this was a thing the vast majority of people had tray loading CD drives (AKA cup holders), or those laptop drives with the grippy spindle.

Suuuuree...

Say what you will, but to make my point very clear, maybe try one of these discs next time and watch it spin fast.

Sure, send me one.
At least that one is symmetrical and looks balanced, won't start wobbling when you spin it up.
Tray loading and top loading CD players had zero problems with these type of discs. I know. I was there.

"AlmOsT iMpoSsiBLe" to play... if you're a moron.

Custom shaped CDs were all over the place once upon a time, and you could play them like any other CD.

OMG IMPOSSIBLE

How the fuck do the Guilty Gear ones work? The hole's way too big.

No it's not, just looks it because the disc is smaller than usual.

Mini CDs were also a thing, that also got phased out because of the rise in slot-loading drives.
