Intel macs do not seem to support this tool as a host.

That's because they're close to a standard PC architecture with UEFI, while Apple Silicon is basically an iPhone/iPad.

As a host seems to refer to the machine that executes the tool not the machine that is being DFU'd.

Intel Macs with T2 actually do have a DFU process as the primary processor is in fact T2, which loads UEFI image in RAM once it validates boot situation and resets the Intel chip.
