That affects a whole lot more than just OpenSSL, a bit like ECDSA means P256
so hash means SHA-1.  Try switching to SHA-2 (in non-TLS usage) and you'll
find all the implementations that simply default to SHA-1, or, worse, skip any
algorithm indication that may be present and just assume the other side will
do SHA-1. Which so far has worked well enough that no-one's noticed that other
options don't.
