KeePass considers letter runs and common words to lower entropy. So “pass word pass word” fits the scheme above but demonstrates lower entropy.
The examples in their docs show that a run of characters “aaaa…” only has an estimate of 7 bits:

Obviously the estimate is wrong when the password will always have a fixed length and a randomized character set. But KeePass doesn’t know that “pass word pass word” is following set rule. Perhaps parent commenter ran the calculation on an example with a run or common word within it.
You’re right it’s 75 bits for the format used by Google here.
