Aren't there handsets out there that can do 800 but not VoLTE (iPhone 5c/5s)??
How would they single out just the VoLTE ones?”

Just because the devices support VoLTE doesn't mean that the networks will support it. There is many VoLTE compatible devices around most won't be supported. Look at America 3 of the big 4 networks have VoLTE now and each support less than ten devices. AT&T supports less than 5 devices in total.
Honestly I don't think it's possible to restrict 800MHz LTE to particular devices if they did it could only be carrier devices or iPhones perhaps could do by IMS. Would mean Sim-only customers would have no chance.

If Three are doing that many software updates then they will be the only network that does. Most of the VoLTE networks are updating very few of the older VoLTE compatible devices.
