I had to dig into a niche TLS library a few months ago and was aghast at the 50000 line source files with massive God functions all over the place. I don't know how it ever was allowed to get that fubared or how they maintain it all.

SSL/TLS are godawful messes of standards, they are insanely complex to implement which is part of why they have had so many bugs turn up in recent years.
