Because it supports TLSv1.[1|2], which was the PP's question, whereas 
OpenSSL doesn't and doesn't show any signs of doing so in the near 
future:

https://www.openssl.org/support/funding/wishlist.html

Note well the "If and when."

IE might be the only client with support for those protocols right now 
but somebody has to lead the way on the server side or you end up with 
a mutual apathy loop (AKA positive can't be arsed feedback loop).
