Another nice reason is that AWS-LC includes rewrites and optimizations that make it faster than alternatives, especially on Graviton.
Are there benches on this vs say OpenSSL on Graviton and Apple M chips? I would be curious how big the difference is vs whatever NEON optimizations are in OpenSSL (and friends) already.

If you are in a regulated environment, that’s reason enough.
