(snip) Even the IBM mainframe, originally a non-stack machine, made hardware allowances for stack-style things (e.g. Program Call & Return) somewhere in the 70's.

Program Call and Return was implemented on System 370 architecture without hardware or software stacks, to the best of my knowledge. And even today, IBM Z-series mainframes still do not have hardware stacks, as far as I know. Perhaps someone can correct me if my impression is wrong.
