If it happens, it seems like it was done just to give CaptainSwan more angst. I think they're doing it more for Captain Charming angst with what they've said regarding Hook and David's past revelations for the season.

But if it was Hook, there's like a 0% chance that he knew it was David's father and I doubt he has figured it out since then and has been keeping it a secret. The writers would just make David's father someone who wronged Hook in the past. Hook mentioned that he once killed someone over an insult but since David's father is actually now framed as someone with significance, I'd assume the backstory involves something more.
