AIUI the missing ABI compatibility in OpenSSL (and its developers' non-interest in providing a binary-stable interface) are the reason why Apple deprecated OpenSSL and introduced Security.framework. They wanted an encryption API on their platform that would automatically get its security holes plugged for all apps when the OS updates its copy, which apparently OpenSSL didn’t allow.
