You can try to install from source with:
  brew install --build-from-source hyperkit
Please note building from source is unsupported. You will encounter build
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. https://github.com/moby/hyperkit/issues/310

It looks like Hyperkit is abandoned by @moby now, and is broken on macOS/Homebrew for a while: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/172795#issuecomment-2151413826
