You probably need to ask about this in a Homebrew-specific forum,
not here.  However, I can comment that this proposed workaround:

>       export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/include"

would need to be applied while *building* Postgres.  If you've
already built it, or are trying to install a prebuilt package,
those flag settings won't do anything.
