Ebonscale is a god, not a simple curse-bearer.. he's on the same tier as beings like Oblivion and Creation.

everything has drawbacks or counters - he curses Inferno with immortality yet there are still forces that could kill Inferno (and himself).. cosmic-tier beings could find ways to kill them or undo the curse.. a major part of Inferno's wanderings is to explore these themes (which in turn is how we discover things like Hidden Truths and other "celestial-tier" artifacts).

there are many ways Inferno and Ebsoncale could die, be separated, depowered etc - the sad fact is Inferno just hasn't found one yet that sticks (he's had many near-"misses"), he's a bit like One Punch Man.. seeking ways to get rid of it all (and will probably succeed at some point).
