I think that MkIV has been frozen since before macOS ARM was released, so I wouldn't be surprised if an ARM version just doesn't exist. I've never used macOS, but if this worked on your Intel Mac, then you can try running the installer via Rosetta instead of running it directly. TeX is so fast that the Rosetta emulation will have fairly little overhead. > LMTX installation, on the other hand, should be successful (the folder > weighs 297.8 MB, as much as the Standalone one should weigh). You can still use MkIV with the LMTX installation. Just run context --luatex document.tex instead of the usual context document.tex TeX Live also supports macOS ARM and includes MkIV if you want another installation option.
