An air gap may not be viable, but you can place a firewall there. There is no reason for everything to be on the same bus.

No idea how it was one or two decades ago, but modern architectures certainly have one.

I can't remember the specifics, but the one I looked at was actually pretty beefy hardware-wise, it had three reasonably powerful cores, 1GB RAM, etc.

It isn't. They would run into bandwidth or (more likely) latency issues anyway.
