AFAIAC Apple have made a good compromise along the way between technology advances and backwards compatibility. The transition of PowerPC went well because of the transparent 680xx emulator. The transition to Mac OS X went reasonably well because of the Blue Box, aka Clbuttic, and Carbon coding. The transition to Intel is going reasonably well because of Rosetta and Universal Binary coding.
As for running old Apple I, II, III software on MOSX: Go get an emulator! They're available! There are plenty of other emulators for Mac as well! You can run all sorts of decrepit old code on modern Macs if you really care to.
