Why Do Some SSL/TLS Libraries Lack Support for Crypto Modules/Tokens?

I was reviewing cURL's sheet comparing TLS libraries (https://curl.se/docs/ssl-compared.html).

I was surprised when I found only two supporting crypto modules/tokens following the PKCS #11 standard.

Why are there so few TLS libraries supporting crypto modules/tokens operating under the PKCS #11 standard?
