[🐛 Bug]: ERROR webdriver: Request failed with status 500 due to session not created: session not created: No matching capabilities found

### Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

- [X] I have read the [Contributing Guidelines on issues](https://github.com/webdriverio/webdriverio/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#reporting-new-issues).

### WebdriverIO Version

8.19.0

### Node.js Version

v19.4.0

### Mode

Standalone Mode

### Which capabilities are you using?

```typescript
capabilities: [{
        maxInstances: 5,
        'goog:chromeOptions': {
            args: [
                '--no-sandbox',
                '--disable-notifications',
                '--window-size=1920,1080',
                '--disable-dev-shm-usage',
                '--disable-gpu',
                '--auto-open-devtools-for-tabs'
            ]
        },
        browserName: 'chromium',
        acceptInsecureCerts: true
    }]
```


### What happened?

Chrome Browser does not open.

This happens with versions
"@wdio/local-runner": "8.14.6" up to "8.19.0".
Version 8.14.0 does not work also but with another error message


### What is your expected behavior?

Like for versions up to "@wdio/local-runner": "8.13.13" Chrome Browser is opening and test execution starts



### How to reproduce the bug.

1. Have Chrome Browser installed
1. Use [package.json](https://github.com/webdriverio/webdriverio/files/13041362/package.json)
install packages
2. place following files on same level as package.json:
[bugTest.test.txt](https://github.com/webdriverio/webdriverio/files/13041472/bugTest.test.txt)
[wdio.conf.bug.txt](https://github.com/webdriverio/webdriverio/files/13041476/wdio.conf.bug.txt)
Couldn't upload it as .js so you need to adjust file extension .txt back to .js
3. run 
```cmd
pnpm wdio run wdio.conf.bug.js --spec .\bugTest.test.js
```
or replace pnpm with npm if you use this
4. Watch the error happen

### Relevant log output

```typescript
This happens with versions:
"@wdio/local-runner": "8.14.6" up to latest "8.19.0".
(Version 8.14.0 does not work also but with another error message)
