The esptool currently being shipped with EmotiBit FirmwareInstaller for macos is breaking for later version of macos (big sur and above, specifically versions released after M1 macs)
Looks like it is a known issue that popped up with macOS big sur release.
According to our documentation, we have been using esptool v3.3, but there are no developer notes specifying where the esptool binary was obtained from.
The binary obtained form the esptool release page, is tested working with the following OS and hence is being shipped with the new firmware installer.
