It is NOT interlaced...

The only time an Apple II outputs interlaced video is when you install
a Video Overlay Card and enable interlaced mode - see
http://web.pdx.edu/~heiss/technotes/misc/tn.misc.17.html

It will if there are only 262 lines per frame.

That would cause a nasty case of jitter. The Apple II refreshes the same
phosphor pixel 60 times a second.
