You can try to install from source with:
  brew install --build-from-source hyperkit

failures with some formulae. If you experience any issues please create pull
requests instead of asking for help on Homebrew's GitHub, Twitter or any other
official channels

So I ran brew install --build-from-source hyperkit and got this error,

Any idea on why this is happening and how to solve this?

I am also seeing this on an arm based mac. I have not found a way around it, or any information that arm macs are not supported. Unless the "EPT" requirement means intel cpu only.

@span M1 is not supported by hyperkit as it is quite x86 specific. #310
