This has most probably to do with a previous installation of BlenderKit.
Blender doesn't pick the newer version from the release. It was one of the many API changes before release, so not really a bug.
Please check your User folder where addons get usually installed, if you find BlenderKit there, just delete it.

This problem that comes to us in many forms could be fixed with blender actually checking for the version of an addon before trying to read it. Now the logic is that if a version of the addon is in the custom scripts folder, Blender tries to read it not taking versioning into account.
