But with only interfaces you inherit merely the syntactical
"interface" while with delegation you can also reuse an existing
implementation for that interface.
Use an object (class instance) for the same purpose, and you don't have
to write additional code as well.
Interfaces are there to abstract away the implementation, because you'll
only have access to those methods that the interface defines. This
allows for low coupling between components and thus for an improvement
of code testability and maintainability.
