FastMail, as many other e-mail providers, let you download messages. On Facebook, you cannot. Saying "the article is a lie" is an exaggeration.

"your data belongs to you"

Not the SSL certificate for your domain, which Fastmail will acquire with or without your prior knowledge or consent, and to which you have no access or control.

That's for their Files product (which you can use to create a website): https://www.fastmail.com/help/files/website.html

They can't request a certificate unless you already pointed your domain to their servers. So if you're already doing that for HTTP, requesting an ssl cert so they can enable HTTPS on it is a perfectly valid request... especially when browsers are starting to mark all HTTP sites as insecure.
