Unless I'm behind on the times, I thought fortune pickaxes weren't supposed to work on gold, iron, and copper. My fortune 3 is unexpectedly making me very rich right now!

This is a new feature.
From the 21w14a changelogs:
Ores that are smeltable now drop raw item forms of the ore instead of the ore block, and these can be smelted just like before
This is to prevent cluttering the inventory, and have consistency with Fortune on all ores
Ore blocks from old worlds and silk-touched ore blocks will continue to be smeltable
