Cause

The web map contains a secured feature service with credentials stored in ArcGIS Online at the feature layer endpoint.

For Collector for ArcGIS to properly download the map for offline use, credentials must be stored at the top level, or the FeatureServer endpoint. This is because the Create Replica capability exists at the feature service endpoint and cannot be accessed through a feature layer endpoint such as FeatureServer/0 or FeatureServer/1.

If Collector for ArcGIS does not have access to the top level (FeatureServer endpoint), the download fails because the utility service is unable to determine if the service actually supports create replica or sync operations.
