No--it's saying that 75% of the dead had it, not that it was responsible for 75% of the deaths. High blood pressure is common in the elderly.
I also seriously wonder if it's actually an issue at all, or if it's the drugs used to treat it that put you at higher risk. Properly controlled high blood pressure shouldn't weaken you--but one standard category of drugs is ACE inhibitors and Covid-19 exploits a related path.
