ADIF says this:
"COMMENT:  comment field for QSO
recommended use: information of interest to the contacted station's operator
<https://www.adif.org/312/ADIF_312.htm#QSO_Field_CALL>"

That doesn't say anything about whether this is a per-QSO or a per-QTH flag.
Consequently, exporting this flag as a COMMENT and assuming that it's going
to be treated one way or the other isn't a valid assumption.  DXKeeper
happens to get it right for this specific usage; it would be wrong for
others.

There's no way to express "This contact is a duplicate" in ADIF.
Duplicate QSOs are a contest issue, and don't matter for most logging
programs. If a contest program wants to export their "duplicate QSO" flag,
they can't redefine the COMMENT field to meet their requirements.
Export that information as an APP_ tag, or propose a new tag.
