From humble beginnings at an MSP, I've adventured through life as a sysadmin, into an engineer, and finally landed as a developer focused on fixing problems with automation.
Not sure how much "appreciation" openssl deserves these days. I think the general rule is you don't implement security yourself and everyone has taken that to an extreme with the particular tool.

OpenSSL was run by mainly 2 people, and only 1 could almost be fully employed. Where was big tech to support these people?
Sure, there have been a bunch of major bugs in it. Just like other SSL/TLS libraries.
So yes, OpenSSL is underappreciated.
