If you don't limit the discussion to "Macintosh", Apple had a 4th architecture (and a 3rd 'transition'): 6502. There were third-party software emulators for 6502-on-68K, but Apple only provided a hardware one.

Officially, yes. Unofficially, there was Gus (65816, if you want to be pedantic, though Gus necessarily ran Apple II software as well).
