This seems to be of problem of misconfiguration with the ConTeXt in TeX Live.

If I install ConTeXt in ~/context using the install script from

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation

and

- Sets the path with

echo 'export PATH=~/context/tex/texmf-osx-arm64/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.zprofile

- Install Lucida OpenType to ~/context/tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/opentype/bh/lucidaot

- Run

mtxrun --generate
mtxrun --script fonts --reload

Then afterwards

% mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern='*lucida*'

and your example file uses Lucida Bright OT as expected (see attachment).

Unfortunately, given my lack of knowledge of ConTeXt, I can't really debug this. It seems that, as packaged in TeX Live 2024, ConTeXt does not look for fonts inside texmf-local. I have no idea whether that's normal or not. I'll post to the tex-live list, see whether someone there can help.
