They have since corrected that report to an actual measured pressure of 892mb. Not sure why the NHC went with 900mb at 2pm -- a more conservative increase would have been more prudent, IMO. Nevertheless, it's weaker than before but not much weaker, with an eyewall cycle to come shortly. The microwave data strongly hint at it coming...it's only a matter of time.
By the way, those 75kt "surface" winds are visual estimates from the plane crew, nothing more.
