The main purpose of a deload is to disspiate accumulated fatigue.

To put it simplisticly, higher reps collect more fatigue and this fatigue dissipates more slowly.

I agree weight is a very big factor in hypertrophy, buts its far from being the only one. Weight (intensity) is inversely proportional to volume. As intensity rises volume must lower and vice versa. Dropping volume allows for higher intensity, allowing fatigue to dissipate while maintaining weight on the bar.

Deloading is not the same as unloading. Its not related to reducing intensity.
