Good question brother!
One of the best explanations was made by Mladen in the TSD days.

As explained by Mladen:

This is an example of multi time frame indicator on chart without interpolation:
And this is that same indicator with interpolation:
The smoothness of the second is achieved by applying Linear Interpolation between the last points of each time frame value. One might ask: "Doesn't it change the values?" It does and it does not :)
At the last bars belonging to higher time frame bar, both are exactly the same, and that causes the paradox: they both have exactly the same number of exactly correct values of the higher time frame at given bar: 1.
So, apart from making the display nicer (and more logical), the accuracy is not suffering and we are having indicators that are not looking like some old invention, but we have a logical display of values development.

For Histogram version of indicators, there is no need for interpolation, since the values are always 1 (or any other constant value) or none and the interpolation would result in exactly the same display.

also know that there are many types of interpolation. the linear one is just to draw a line between two points, and pick the middle of it (if you want to double resolution) but, in DSP and audio applications, the interpolation is critical to a good sound. One method consist of interlacing zero values between each data, and applying a low pass at half the max frequency...

other tools require more complicated interpolations
