In fact a fourth can be added too sometimes - an extra that will serve rifle and pistol - the factory crimp die.
The third stage seating with pistol ammo can be less than ideal for crimp and so it can be beneficial to back off crimping at seating stage and then go thru the factory crimp die to get the ideal crimp.
With rifle - the decapper when withdrawn after resizing and decapping will leave case mouth ready for bullet - so no flair stage needed - just charge case and seat bullet in die #2.
Furthermore, the flair stage with pistol rounds is when often a powder hopper can be used to drop the charge weight. Much more amenable to fast thruput whereas rifle often tends to be a slower ''one at a time'' deal.
