You can define your own machine anyway. Not that it seems to make a whole lot of difference in most cases. I used to just ignore this setting and did my toolpath generation with no machine specified.

You can also specify the default post-processor, and also the most valuable thing that I have found - the default Z "Home" position. I don't think that that matters too much with Mach3 as you can define the tool-change position as part of the G28-related parameters, but UCCNC does not handle G28 the same way and you need this to be set up. In fact, I think that this was the driver for me actually setting up a machine definition in the first place as I changed motion controllers in my mill and went from Mach3 to UCCNC. Had a lot of problems with tool-change height and similar until I discovered this.
