DMARC, DKIM and SPF (in this use) are strictly for authentication.  And 
the latter two were only designed for transit-time evaluation.  
(Arguably this also applies to DMARC.)

Moreover, they have nothing to do with trust of substance, other than a 
domain name.

Presumably authorization to use a BIMI mark is more than that, 
pertaining to some matter(s) of business and display trust.  That level 
of trust that presumably could be withdrawn after initial validation, 
even as domain name authorization remains.
