Is software freedom defined differently on phones vs tablets?

Why does Android 3.x not being for phones make any difference at all to this conversation?

Because the title is "Android phones...", and also the majority of Android devices being sold are phones. You definitely have the option to get a non-Honeycomb Android phone right now.

Afaik Honeycomb was never meant for phones, either.

Okay, that may be but it has no impact on the "freeness" of Android 3.x.
