Why is that Qt's problem? Qt does not and cannot check that all security
updates for all dependencies have been applied, even when using a branch
supported by upstream, so I do not see why this case would be any different.

Because
1) Qt should never use unsafe 3rdparty dependencies;
2) this is different code from the supported version. We're choosing to keep and maintain code, in Qt, in order to support a library that has reached EOL;
3) OpenSSL is by far the most security-sensitive code that we use.
