It's a compromise.
The default settings for --with-openssl-rpath=no (--without-openssl-rpath) is
backwards compatible with previous Python versions. The default behavor stays
the same.
I don't want to set an rpath *unless* the user specifies that they want an
rpath. I lack time and resources to verify that OPENSSL_LDFLAGS and OpenSSL's
pkg-config files don't include any -L flags on all Linux, BSD, and macOS
distributions. The new flag will make it more obvious to users that they may
want an rpath, too.
$ ./configure --help
...
--with-openssl=DIR override root of the OpenSSL directory to DIR
--with-openssl-rpath=[DIR|auto|no]
Set runtime library directory (rpath) for OpenSSL
libraries, no (default): don't set rpath, auto:
auto-detect rpath from --with-openssl and
pkg-config, DIR: set an explicit rpath
...
