I will post the answer I got from the MathWorks team as the official answer to this problem:
Please know that Arch Linux is not a qualified Linux distro, so MATLAB might or might not run and the developers won't release any hot fix unless this policy changes otherwise in the future.
MATLAB R2024b System Requirements for Linux
https://www.mathworks.com/support/requirements/matlab-linux.html
However, this issue is acknowledged, the error occurred due to the GNU 2.41 (which was recently released) on Arch Linux and there is a fix for it, if you look at some sites such as Arch Wiki.
This command was from such site, please try:
execstack -c /home/ash/.MathWorks/ServiceHost/-mw_shared_installs/v2025.1.1.2/bin/glnxa64/mathworksservicehost/rcf/matlabconnector/serviceprocess/rcf/service/libmwmshrcfservice.so
Then, relaunch MATLAB, if not working, try rebooting the machine.
If it still does not work, I suggest seeking further help from the Arch community, since I won't be able to assist you with this issue ):
Additionally, what originally worked for me was the workaround first posted by @Phillip, which you can find here.
A huge thank you to anyone involved! Lets hope this problem doesn't happen anymore with the release of 2025a :)
