Default No incentive to travel off-peak on London Buses from January

This week TfL pledged £150,000 to Work Wise UK, an organisation
encouraging more flexible working hours. TfL's press release
highlighted how this helps manage demand on the transport network.

But simultaneously TfL are ending the Oyster Pay As You Go price
differential between peak and off-peak travel on the buses. Why are
they contradicting their policy to incentivise encourage off-peak
travel? Wasn't one of the reasons for introducing Oyster the ease with
which it handles this differential pricing?
