vvanirudh··on Histograms for Probability Density Estimation: A Primer
If sampling from the density is the only goal, then you are absolutely right. Can directly estimate empirical CDF as you pointed below. But histograms can still be useful to approximate the PDF itself? (taking the derivative of the empirical CDF to estimate PDF is wild as you said)
