For example,
I'm looking for a reservation in Miami Beach for a weekend. I see 80000 Points per Night, which is $480 as per TPG Valuation. But If i choose dollar, it's much cheaper I'm getting it at $250. And its not just this hotel, I see it for almost every Hotel that i stay for work.
So where exactly I get 0.6 cents per HHonors points?

TPG isn't valuing specific hotels. (your example is fairly standard)

TPG is valuing the commissions that the various Hilton credit cards pay him. (well.. whatever corporate entity that is behind TPG) A "proper" valuation of 0.4 cents doesn't make the credit cards attractive enough on an earn-and-burn or sign-up bonus basis.
