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.

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.
Thanks,
