What a strange thread and strange comparison. Other than being from NYC they have nothing in common. The Strokes wrote catchy, pop, mainstream rock music. Interpol was doing the college, album rock thing.

It would be like comparing The Eagles and Yes in the 70s and wondering why Yes didn't have as much mainstream success.

In both instances, they're completely different, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for both.

It's akin to comparing Pearl Jam and Nirvana....same city, same period, same 'scene'.

NYC in the early 00's turned out many bands like The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, The National, Fiery Furnaces, TV on the Radio, Animal Collective....sorry you weren't aware.
