Not defending google but I don't believe that Google is sending the passwords anywhere

This is how 1password does it for their watchtower feature (basiclaly same feature as your google example)

https://support.1password.com/watchtower-privacy/

The way it works is that instead of sending your password to their server to check (which they do not do that). They download known a list of leaked password to local to check.
