What percentage of these unvaxx are in the hospital FOR covid, or even WITH covid?
If some unvax is hospitalized for a heart attack, without ever having covid. . .why is it useful to count him?

Would be good to know, but it is also very difficult to know. One is relatively easy. Just count up the number of patients with covid or unvaxxed and divide by the total number of patients.
To determine the total number of patients in the hospital FOR or BECAUSE of COVID somebody would have to make that determination. And people don't really just go to the hospital because they have COVID. It's because they have trouble breathing or tightness in the chest brought about because of COVID. So in your case someone could very much has a heart attack but it was brought about because of COVID. But there could also be someone with COVID like symptoms like trouble breathing but it could out to just be an asthma attack or an allergic reaction to a bug bite that has nothing to do with COVID.
So again, nice to have, not as easy as you thing to get.

I'm pretty sure those charts are
1) Total in-patient with a current COVID diagnosis
2) Split between vax and unvax
Non-COVID patients are not part of this.
