It is a client application that talks libpq. All of them understand a
common set of environment variables:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-envars.html
Many of those can also be supplied as part of the connection string. These
include SSL mode control.
The question I would ask is whether psql connects by default using ssl in
the same basic configuration. If so, then the inconsistency amounts to
pg_basebackup having an insecure default connection method while psql has a
secure one.
