Usually, it is in non-pertinent ABI/API breakage.

And companies which are making a business at upgrading components like openssl are the ones which would be targetted for a planned obsolescence crack down.

Usually, it is c++ ABI issues (those are usually a massive pain), or glibc versioning manic usage, since there are rarely API/ABI breakages in many crypto libs.
