DKIM has been around for close to 2 decades now and fastmail has been rolling out out by default since 2009 [1]. This change only affects fastmail users who manage their own DNS rather than letting fastmail manage it and either set it up a very long time ago or chose not to implement all the recommended settings.

Gmails changes are not deliberately affecting fastmail at all.

I signed up for Fastmail only 9 years ago, and my email started being sent to spam just this week.

Exactly. I've been using Fastmail for eleven years, and the records I had set up had been deemed sufficient for that long. They still are, for everyone else. Google just decided all on their own, without even any announcement (which I'm pretty sure I would have seen here and elsewhere), to start being extra-picky about something they had previously been fine with. It comes across as an excuse, not a sincere attempt to improve anyone's security or UX.
