I wouldn't say it looks "nice". The game certainly does a good job of covering up the uglies though.

But if it ain't technically feasible, then it isn't technically feasible. Blizzard will not just randomly port their games to a platform if they believe it won't fit well with said platform. That is why StarCraft 2, WarCraft 3, Diablo 2, World of WarCraft etc' aren't on console.
And there is more to a platform than just the controls.

I can run overwatch perfectly fine on a 10 year old, Core 2 Quad, 4GB Ram and a Radeon 6570 or Radeon R7 240 (I have both cards at my disposal) at 720P with about 40-50fps.
The game uses about 2GB of Ram and 256MB video memory with everything on lowest at 720P, so it fits well with the Switch, the Switch's GPU should be superior, especially while docked.
The CPU is the real kicker though. The Q9650 should obliterate the Switch's CPU and Overwatch can be pretty heavy in that aspect, if anything that is what is holding the Core 2 Quads ability back to hit 60fps.
