The ref who called the interference is on the other side of the court, probably thought that a continuation was going on.
It's not for arbitrarily missing the shot, but awarded because of the interference, which is correct if the continuation was actually occurring. It shouldn't be, not from my take.
I bet we see a clarification tomorrow about the messed-up call.
