So, whenever I import pictures into lightroom, or let me rephrase, ATTEMPT to import pictures, lightroom ALWAYS thinks it found duplicates.
This issue has been reported a few years ago with fixes promised but as expected from Adobe, still hasn't been addressed. Why?
There are so many bug-infested Adobe apps that I'm considering dropping the creative cloud completely; I already went to final cut pro due to premiere's horrid optimisation. Now this?
Does anyone know of a way to import photo's that lightroom incorrectly marks as duplicates?

Providing details and examples might help diagnose the issue you are seeing.
As for your question: If you have an item, you believe is being detected incorrectly, you can use Lightroom Web to perform that import as it bypasses duplicate detection and will sync back to your Lightroom Ecosystem clients.
For a gut check, Lightroom Desktop looks at the following.
If:
Then:
Else:
If none of those things then it is not a duplicate - or it is a bug.
Can you provide an example of a file that will not import and its faux-duplicate? That would allow for testing and repeating and ultimately writting a bug.

What do you mean with: "provide an example"?
My EOS R6 has a continuous file-naming system; there are no duplicates so if Lightroom detects a duplicate, it's per definition a bug. I'll try to circumvent this with the online environment for the time being; another band-aid fix. Like having to disable Gsync everytime you use an Adope app. Hundreds of complaints online and still no fix from Adobe.

I am glad you can use the workaround.
For the engineers to diagnose your issue we would need the following.
Restart Lightroom
Using an asset that fails as a duplicate - attempt an import.
After it fails, collect a log:
We would need:
Would you be able to provide those items as described?
