The fifth Amendment grants you the ability to stay silent so you don't incriminate yourself. If you have blanket immunity you cannot incriminate yourself therefore the fifth Amendment no longer applies and you can be compelled to testify against anybody else and tell the truth about what you did. If you don't you can be held in contempt of court and put in jail until you decide to testify. By granting his son Hunter blanket immunity Joe Biden just created the worst possible witness against Joe budden.
While technically correct, you're still relying on the honesty of a liar. Nothing prevents him from lying or saying he doesn't remember, and he is still immune from prosecution.
It's a cool idea on paper, but in the real world you can't force someone to tell the truth.
