We will see, I expecting at least improved frame rate, better resolution and better visuals with less pop-up, all that was improved on PS4/XB1 after inital launch.

At best they improve the frame rate imo.

I am pretty sure they will improve some other things also.

You aren't considering the Switch port is already benefitting from great optimization of Fortnite. Which is why is works so well on Switch to begin with.

Its like Doom on Switch, it was already a well optimized game and that helped when bringing it to Switch.

At best, I anticipate a more stable frame rate and MAYBE minor visuals improvements. But there is only so much they can do with the specs on Switch, its already one of the more impressive games on the platform.

Optimisation means you optimising game for hardware, tools, APIs...on platform that game is/will be released. You don't know if Fortnite is already great optimised for Switch, and with point it wasn't great optimised on any hardware on which was launch at start, is telling us that Switch version will also have further optimisation through the patches.

Doom and Fortnite are totally different things, Doom is finished and done game but even Doom had optimisation patch months after Switch relase. Also intresting you didn't mention Rocket League for instance (instead of Doom) that recive couple of improved and optimisation patches that brought us more stabile frame rate, better resolution and better visuals, Fortnite is much similar to Rocket League, game will be keep being supported with new content, patches and optimisation, especially for platform thats just launched on. Also talking about Doom, Doom is 1st year Switch game and 1st Panic Button Switch game, for instance it seems that Wolfenstein 2 will be better optimised than Doom was on Switch.

Point that curently Fortnite for Switch is OK port doesnt mean it want have futher improvements like we alredy saw with other platforms and games like Rocket League, actually all point that we will definitely have some optimization through patches later. Like I wrote, I expecting like improved frame rate, better resolution and better visuals with less pop-up.
