I was reading a PCB design notes and guidelines from Xilinx for their 7 series FPGAs and came across this sentence:
The capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the FPGA. Any
placement within two electrical inches of the device’s point of load
is acceptable.

I wonder if this wire distance needs to be reduced according to the dielectric velocity factor?

"Electrical inches" is shorthand for "inches of trace along which the electrons must flow". In other words, it's the length of the wires or traces, following any bends, not the straight-line distance.
