(See my comments above, but here is my answer)
As Spark relies on Scala (but you don’t have to use Scala yourself) you are dependent on the version of the JVM used by Scala, which in your situation is Java 8 or 11, not 17.
Check out https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/ for more details.
Install Java 8 or 11, point your JAVA_HOME to the right directory, and run Spark again.
