This is very interesting. I hope someone write an indepth review regarding features and performance, compared to the competition. I wonder why they went with openssl instead of rustls, it is not like OpenSSL have the best security reputation.
My guess is that the relevant keyword for the choice of OpenSSL is FIPS. Rusttls doesn't (or at least didn't) have that certification, which matters if you are dealing with US government (directly or indirectly). I believe there is an alternative backend (instead of ring) these days that does have FIPS though.
