Because that is the handle to work with the indicator not the indicator value
You need to read the documentation
 

Perhaps you should read the manual, especially the examples.

They all (including iCustom) return a handle (an int). You get that in OnInit. In OnTick/OnCalculate (after the indicator has updated its buffers), you use the handle, shift and count to get the data.
