The modes of operation aren't the main reason people use OpenSSL; it's the support for all the gnarly (and less gnarly) protocols and wire formats that show up when doing applied cryptography. Progress is being made on replacing OpenSSL in a lot of contexts (specifically, the RustCrypto[1] folks are doing excellent work and so is cryptography[2]), but there are still plenty of areas where OpenSSL is needed to compose the mostly algebraic cryptography with the right wire format. Edit: I forgot to mention rustls[3], which uses ring[4] under the hood.
