According to https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/467846/machtype-environment-variable-on-arm the MACHTYPE variable tells you the architecture of the machine that compiled your shell, so evidently Apple compiled your shell on an Intel Mac. Since that's not really interesting to know, you can probably ignore this variable.
