We’ve read Wasabi wallet shouldn't be used because they're using blockchain analysis companies https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5286821.msg62421785#msg62421785. I don't know everything about their relationship so I'm asking questions about info they're storing or sharing.

Wasabi does not store or share any data with blockchain analysis companies. Your client never shares your xpub address since it uses BIP158 compact block filters, and never shares your IP address since it uses Tor.

Which data gets transmitted to zkSNACKs when Wasabi wallet opens in Win 11?

When you open the wallet, you begin downloading block filters from the coordinator over Tor. No identifiable data is transmitted since your IP address is protected.

If wallet1 has 10 transactions, wallet2 has 10 transactions, wallet3 has 2 transactions are they linked to the same user by zkSNACKs or it's 22 anonymous transactions which zkSNACKs can't link to the same user?

That would appear to zkSNACKs as 22 anonymous transactions that can't be linked to any user.

Do zkSNACKs store any data to link users from received<>sent addresses after mixing?

No, the Wasabi client prevents data from being leaked to the coordinator. Users never link their addresses together because every input and output is registered with a single use Tor identity.

Which info does zkSNACKs share with blockchain companies is it limited to scanning incoming mixes for analysis?

None, zkSNACKs purchases info from blockchain companies, zkSNACKs cannot sell any info to them because Wasabi is purposely designed not to reveal any data about its users.

Nobody knows this information, because Wasabi won't tell.

The blockchain analysis company they are funding was even kept a secret, before they were exposed that it was Coinfirm, and yet Wasabi still claims to be the ultimate privacy solution, when they are clearly working with a pro-censorship service to spy on people's UTXO.

Even if Wasabi and zkSNACKs publish the criteria for blacklisting certain UTXO, it will not change the fact that they can blacklist any UTXO for any reason they decide at all, and surely they are storing and sharing data with a blockchain analysis firm, if not how then will they spy on their customers.

This is completely wrong, everyone can verify for themselves that Wasabi does not leak any of their data because all of the code is open source, just like Bitcoin itself: https://github.com/zkSnacks/WalletWasabi

And as reminder, Windows OS have poor privacy.

You can use Wasabi with Linux or Mac if you would like - https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/blob/master/WalletWasabi.Documentation/WasabiCompatibility.md

If it is from Wasabi wallet aka zkSNACKs, according to the some open data, they can know all the addresses associated with the CoinJoin process, down to your IP addresses, and all the details of your addresses or addresses that you may generate in the future.
But with this data they cannot identify you as you can enhance your privacy by running a full node using TOR and using an additional mixing layers.

This sort of data collection happens by default in wallets like Samourai which expose your IP address and xpub address, but Wasabi is specifically designed so zkSNACKs (or any coordinator you choose) never learns your wallet addresses or IP address since Tor is on by default and your addresses are never linked even when you don't run a node thanks to BIP158 compact block filters - https://bips.xyz/158

We don't know and they won't tell us.

You do know, the answer is "none" because Wasabi does not reveal any data to them. zkSNACKs is very proud of their zero data collection policy and talks about it all the time, how could you miss it?
