I think if google provides the attestation and they also provide a client side dependency for the site, then they can collect all the data they want.

Also, nothing stops a site from having a flow like: 1. Please enter your age 2. Verify that it's correct using a proof

The zkp is valid as far as the tech is concerned but the sites can still do whatever they want.

Yeah, if the entities share data they'll share data, but ZKPs give a way to, in principle, verify that they cannot link two parts of that together by doing the verification. I'm not sure I understand your flow example though. If they ask you to enter an age, but will accept a zkp that you're over 18, then you could enter any age over 18 in the first part and they would have no way of knowing.
