Peak/off-peak, even if "balanced", is a net win for the hotels as you have people paying more points in high demand times more than offsetting fewer points in low demand times. They aren't doing it out of the goodness of their heart...

In aggregate - it's a win for "consumers" for these to be held off as long as possible.
