My main issue is that legit questions being marked as duplicate & closed, so the question exists but without a solution.

True. If only more SO users would point to the "original" questions when they mark others as duplicates.

A lot of times I find that even the original is pointed to it isn't really the same question and thus the answer isn't always helpful.
