ZKP for this purpose is a trojan horse for identity tracking and device attestation, as those are prerequisites for avoiding the scenario of someone printing attestations that everyone is of age in bulk and handing them out for free.

It works for contract signing and payments, because there is a built in incentive there, but not for age attestation.
