At the end of the day, OpenSSL is a *library*, not an end-user product,
and enc(1) and friends are developer utilities and "demo" tools.

When you need a *product*, you build something useful with the
library. Yes, enc(1) should be better, but it is likely not a priority
relative to improving the library.
