I have the same issue on a Windows machine (Windows 11). I speculate it is because of behind the proxy download.
electron/chromedriver#42 and https://github.com/electron/get (Section "Proxies") might be relevant, however setting the variable names on Windows did not help.
Worth mentioning that my electron uses another link, https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v9.0.0/chromedriver-v9.0.0-win32-x64.zip, which otherwise works in the browser.
