I think that I will most likely be getting this monitor when it comes out, but I'm kinda confused with its apparent specs. How can a G-Sync monitor be only 75Hz? To my knowledge, wouldn't that refresh rate be bottlenecking the capabilities of the G-Sync module?

I think it's because it's an IPS screen. The whole point of G-sync is when frames drop below the refresh rate. For above you can always use v-sync or frame limiter

Yeah, that's what I figured. I'm just really itchy to upgrade my display and this monitor has almost everything of what I'm looking for in a display. Or I would rather pick up the ASUS ROG Swift with it being 144Hz and G-Sync, but its only a 27" display.
