I can't be the only one with this scenario: I have one artboard with a prototype of an app, with multiple layers. I need to quickly (in seconds, not minutes) create 200 copies of that artboard. It's inconceivable to me that the only "Option" is to drag dozens of times with the Option key. Where in the Artboard panel is the one-click option to duplicate an artboard a set number of times, where I can enter 200 and get back to work??

For these studies, I recommend InDesign's MASTER PAGE.
Functional, safe, fast solution.
Use the SYMBOL function in Adobe Illustrator. When you want to make a change over 200 copies, all clones will change by changing a single object.

You mention that you're wanting the artboard copies to prototype an app. You might want to look into using Adobe XD Download free Adobe XD | UX/UI design and collaboration tool. It has tools specifically for prototyping.
