Histograms aren't necessarily a true depiction of the distribution. Bin count or width has a large impact on what details get shown.

Sure. Very few distributions have lovely square edges, which otherwise indicate some very high frequencies in the distribution, or quantized values.

But that also means we are used to seeing histograms and their bin count and widths in order to estimate possible variances from the true distribution;.

While it's much harder to do the same with violin plots.

You could plot the cumulative distribution function to avoid these problems with histograms.
