It would add a lot of overhead and complexity to a significant fraction of
the code for a feature that isn't all that useful and wouldn't be used all
that often.  It also creates a few thorny technical issues around things
like session resumption.

You can achieve precisely the same functionality in much simpler ways. I
suggest you create a process specifically to do SSL and create a nice API
for other processes to accept connections, create connections, and
read/write them.

OpenSSL is aimed at 95% of the problem. There are niche solutions available
for the other 5%.
