Every situation is different. If the parents are not discommoded by the presence of the adult/child, and the adult/child lives according to the rules of the house, then an "indefinite" living arrangement may be the best option for everyone involved.
Problems arise when the parents ARE discommoded, or when there are other siblings who consider that their interests are being compromised, or when the adult/child uses the arrangement to avoid living as a mature adult.
No parent wants to see his kid living in his car or on the street.
I like the way the Amish do it. The youngest child stays in the family home and takes care of Mom and Dad when they get too old to work the farm. There's no need for Social Security, no burden on society, no rest home expenses, the parents are cared for in their old age, and the sibling who cares for them doesn't have to build a house or farm.
It really was not that long ago that the norm was for multiple generations to live in the same house. Of course, the younger generations were the ones expected to work and provide for the older ones, so you didn't have a 25 year old lounging on the couch while Dad went off to work.
Before the advent of Social Security and easy travel, when most people didn't travel more than 50 miles from where they were born. Where else are elderly relatives going to live when there are no rest homes?I like the way the Amish do it.

When was this ever true? "It really was not that long ago that the norm was for multiple generations to live in the same house. "
I know retired people who went back to work to support adult children still living with them. The adult children use college as a scam. By the artful use of dropping classes and changing majors, they can stay in college indefinitely. They become professional students. Suggest that they work and it's an angry "you don't want me to get an education.".I like the way the Amish do it.

The way to handle that - "This is what I will contribute to your education. Anything else is up to you".I had to do it,

It is time to kick Millenials out of the home
Just add another to the list....kick the elderly out in the street, kick the sick out in the street, kick the poor out in the street, and now kick their own kids out in the street. Ah, the compassion of the evangelical right.
