The candidate can also accept the offer and then take a job somewhere else without penalty, so it is at least symmetric.

Sometimes I do wish HN were Reddit so I can snap at people who genuinely believe such things. Equating the damage of a rescinded offer to an employee who packed their life into two suitcases and to a multi billion company is outright delusional.

That is not symmetric.

No, the cost for individual would-be employee and a big FAANG company is nowhere near "symmetric".
