If I had a tupperware container with a RH of 70% and I sealed it with no source of humidification it would remain at 70% forever as long as it sealed water tight? Not being a smart ass, just wanting to know how it works exactly, and I think it is still on topic.
I'm a noob so take this for what it's worth to you.

Tupperware isn't 100% airtight, just much more so than that of a wooden humidor. The tupperware would (should) hold the 70% RH a lot longer than a wooden humidor as the tupperware is more of an airtight container.

With that said, no it would not hold the 70% rh forever because its not 100% airtight.

That is if we are assuming the enviroment is correct and it doesn't fluctuate.
