NIMBY absolutists exist, and in fact are pretty common. There really are people who will oppose any new construction at all, even at the cost of destroying the livability of their city.

But do what you describe as “YIMBY absolutists” actually exist? Maybe they do, but from my perspective I don’t really see anyone arguing that everything should be buildable everywhere.

There's also BANANA (build absolutely nothing anywhere near anybody) which is perhaps a bit more tongue in cheek. It also sounds like the "YIMBY absolutists" mentioned in the GP.
