I think that modes should set `outline-regexp' and `outline-heading-alist'
according to the constructs of their programming language. Then users
don't need to customize these variables.

I agree it would be nice to set an appropriate value of `outline-regexp'
and `outline-heading-alist' for fortran-mode in lisp/progmodes/fortran.el.
But the last time I used Fortran was when Fortran had the "C" character
for comments at the first fixed column on a punched card, and now
your example uses some new syntax "!" for comments, so sorry, can't help here.
This task would be a nice assignment for the group of students.
