This is a good point, how it could partly be related to the geographic area. In the area where I grew up, Baltimore, "Hon" is a very common term of endearment, like a waitress might say, "Here you go, Hon," when serving your food. Not meant in any sort of condescending or patronizing way, just how many people speak. Though much more common for women to use that than men.
