That is a very charitable opinion. The idea that because a company is large enough, or profitable enough, that it therefore should be compelled to hire indefinitely, or never shrink in size.

Let me ask, is it your opinion that economies only ever grow forward, that companies in the economy never shrink?

I was reading an interview of Warren Buffet saying that integrity is an important value for a business to succeed. Why are we talking about hiring indefinitely? They made a contract and based on that I made some commitments. How does this case look like hiring forever?
You can downsize without firing anyone.
I don’t think that not rescinding an already made offer and “hiring indefinitely” are the same thing
