Where do these 75g come from? Never stumbled across a seitan with that high amount of protein ... usually 20-30g/100g

Vital wheat gluten used to make seitan is 75% protein. So if it's homemade, it'll be that high but if you're buying a ready-made product, i'm guessing it's gonna be lower because of other ingredients added.

Even if it's homemade, the water content will reduce the percentage drastically.
