"Forever" is a long time.
It could be found in a few years or in a few decades. Although reading the flight recorders by then could be problematic.
It's not the first time anyway, a British plane disappeared on the Andes in 1947 (after sending a cryptic Morse message BTW) and was found 50 years later, so I wouldn't despair.

Sediment drifting down from above layers the debris. Ocean currents disperse the light aluminum fragments that remain from the ocean impact. An undersea landslide covers the fuselage or it slides down into an underwater canyon, separating and breaking apart. I vote "forever".
