Back around the time of Heartbleed, there was a bunch of childish[1,2] attention given to OpenSSL's warts, mostly centered around the OpenBSD fork called LibreSSL, which stripped out a lot bad, old code and code for non-Unix platforms. Unsurprisingly, the childish attention faded into nothing because it's much harder to write good code than it is to tear apart someone else's. But the smear on the OpenSSL volunteers' reputation remains, as seen by GP's comment.
