Sloved.

Just disable the system proxy of Windows, and then the command could be executed. Still very strange. Is there a bug?

Setting wsl2.networkingMode to mirrored also solves the problem.

Here is my current .wslconfig below.

[wsl2]
networkingMode=mirrored
dnsTunneling = true
autoProxy = true

[experimental]
autoMemoryReclaim = gradual

Adding the line networkingMode=mirrored solves the problem.

LOL I edited .wslconfig before trying wsl -d Arch -u {username} and succeeded. I thought the bug can be solved by an alternative way of adding default user before I read this issue
