Count the number of vulnerabilities in OpenSSL over the last few years, relative to the size of its code base. A single vulnerability, albeit bad this year, results in a fork and the attitude of "it had its chance."
LibreSSL inherits all of the undiscovered vulnerabilities in its huge code base. I hope your harsh criticism carries over to its code base once these flaws are discovered here too. That's the beauty of open source.
The problem is that a security software brick is not satisfactory when it works, but when you can be sure there are no problems.
Given the very low quality of the code and the high amount of bloat, few people actually trust it. They have to trust third-parties and external certifications and the word on the street, and this is not enough for that kind of dependency.
