This is not always true. I also have done years of hiring. When someone is BRAND NEW out of school, I'll happily pull the offer if they throw a big stink about salary. 1) they have no experience 2) they are unproven 3) it shows me they would be willing to jump ship at the next highest offer. 4) they are basing it off what they think they should make based on the internet. I will only negotiate with people that have leverage. And a recent graduate with no experience or other offers has shit.

Perhaps I should clarify I've always worked for Fortune 100 companies, and 100% of the time a manager would not be allowed to pull an offer if someone negotiated the offer - the absolute worst that would happen is HR would reject the negotiated request and state they are firm on salary.
Pulling a job offer because of salary negations would land a FLSA lawsuit faster than you could blink for every org I've worked at.

This makes very little sense to me. What exactly would be the grounds for the lawsuit? I don't know about other professions, i'm asking about programming jobs because i've never heard anything like this.
