“Relativism poses as humble by saying: “We are not smart enough to know what the truth is—or if there is any universal truth.” But... they exalt themselves as supreme arbiter of what they can think and do. This is not humility. This is the essence of pride.” ― John Piper

Piper seems to think he knows better than the people who admit that they don't know

I don't know lol But, apparently, Piper does... The mystery of Absolute Truth eludes me

no, no one knows the absolute truth ... he says only that those who claim the truth does not exists, have their own truths wich they are often proud of ... and therefore they are not really humble, as they pretend...

I don't see the part where he claims they "have their own truths". I thought he was saying some have decided there is no "universal truth", as if they know that to be the final truth. But true skeptics are skeptical even of their own skepticism (Pyrrhonism)

... but even if you do not know the absolute truth, you know that there is a truth ... that's just what it's all about...

In the realm of matters of fact, there is a true and false, i.e. it's raining or it's not, etc. But in the realm of opinion and conjecture, the truth is nebulous and uncertain, hence all the multitude of diverging opinions.
