Just like After Effects, when you Create a new sequence from multiple clips, premiere should offer the option to either:
A) Single sequence with all selected clips (current functionality)
B) One sequence per clip (requested functionality)

Importing files into After Effects, batch creating multiple comps, and then expoting the AE project as a Premiere Project to copy over the comps and files is a great workaround (although Adobe should still add this function to PP). Well done. I would add you might want to batch rename your audio files before you do this.  One drawback is the comps I created were from a  stereo track with voice recorded on one channel. I needed mono but you cannot not batch modify the comps audio settings. Result is my voice files are all panned right. Annoying to edit.

Wait... we can't  do this...? WTF? Adobe PLEASE take a five minute step back from designing an ai that can create a video clip showing a donkey eating a burrito while riding public transit in Rio de Janeiro and address this head-slappingly obvious workflow issue. "Create Multiple Compositons from Clip Selection". Thank you.

Another vote for this feature.
I'm about to have to create 105 sequences from clips.
This feature would be really nice.

Is it okay to post autohotkey script here for people who need a solution until an official one exists? All you have to do is set Ctrl + Shift + N as the shortcut for New Sequence from Clip in premiere, select your first item in the Project panel, then activate and deactivate this with Ctrl + Alt + Shift + P
If not acceptable, delete this but figured it would help someone and you can see exactly what it does here:

; I made this script to automatically add clips to their own unique sequences in Premiere.
; Useful after you've marked in and out points on desired clips.
; Must set Sequence from Clip hotkey in Premiere to Ctrl + Shift + N
; This script will press Ctrl + Shift + N, wait 1 second, and then press Shift + 1 to select the Project panel, wait 1 second, and finally press the down arrow key to go to the next clip.
; It can be toggled on and off by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift + P

toggle := false ; This variable keeps track of the script state

^!+p:: ; This is the hotkey for Ctrl + Alt + Shift + P
toggle := !toggle ; This toggles the variable between true and false
if (toggle) ; If the variable is true, start the script
{
    SetTimer, SendKeys, On ; This sets a timer to run the label SendKeys repeatedly
}
else ; If the variable is false, stop the script
{
    SetTimer, SendKeys, Off ; This stops the timer
}
return

SendKeys: ; This is the label for the timer
Send, ^+n ; Press Ctrl + Shift + N
Sleep, 1000 ; Wait 1 second
Send, +1 ; Press Shift + 1
Sleep, 1000 ; Wait 1 second
Send, {Down} ; Press the down arrow key
return
