Hilton is setting the distressed inventory price algorithmically and offering it to the GDS (or directly to HT), and no one local is empowered to override. You pay HotelTonight, They pay for your room with their corp MasterCard, and everyone is happy.

Some processes and business practices are super hard to change.

I know how HotelTonight works, but since they advertise matching the lowest price they should empower anyone doing booking to match the lowest price.
My mistake. I agree.
