Because most people will still use power during peak. It's easier for a municipality to cut non essential energy guzzlers when they need to.

Has this been tested? Other countries do employ this.

Ripple was turned off in Krugersdorp some years ago after a legal challenge by residents. Unconstitutional interference.

Are you sure about that? Last I checked there was still modulation on the mains at fixed time slots.
They also cant just turn off something that is used for a multitude of purposes other than load control
