The question is what is off-peak in places like Hawaii or Aruba, which are pretty popular year-round. Hawaii is always busy and Aruba falls outside the hurricane zone.
The same question applies for London or Paris.
London is pretty busy with tourists year-round, especially with Americans now coming over in the fall and early winter for NFL games. Paris in August is empty, if you're French but not if you're a tourist from abroad.
I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to dynamic-pricing if it meant that a hotel could drop a category or two in off-peak because the reality is places like Florida or the islands of the Caribbean in the hurricane zone are empty from May through October. Some of the resorts even reduce staff and services.
