Then tell us a bit more about your system. What is the output of

/Library/TeX/texbin/context
which is an alias of
/Library/TeX/texbin/context@ ->
../../texmf-dist/scripts/context/stubs/unix/context
and texbin is
/Library/TeX/texbin@ -> Distributions/Programs/texbin
/Library/TeX/Distributions/Programs/texbin@ ->
../.DefaultTeX/Contents/Programs/texbin
/Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents@ ->
../TeXLive-2020.texdist/Contents
for example? Is
/var/folders/
the normal path where mactex would expect a format file? I use a Mac,
but I have vanilla texlive installed; I never quite understood where
mactex was any better, so I can’t test on my system.
The directory name luatex-cache suggests it's used for caching. I
interpret the output like „something happens during the generation of
the format file and therefore the file never gets generated“. I don't
know much about the internals.
I don't really have any reason for using MacTeX over texlive; I was once
told that this is the thing I want to use on a Mac when I was a student,
and have used it ever since.
I could switch over and try texlive if nothing else helps, though I
think it would be good to pin down the cause of this error and tell the
MacTeX folks about it.

Felix
