Nope, manufacturer. There are hundreds of other simpler ways to protect
device owner side (physical locks on racks, 2FA auth via a physical
button on the device or an sms code, etc).

The average device is not sold with locks in the supermarket. The home
or office or building or rack door is considered sufficient
protection. 

Evil maid does exist, but applying evil maid generally would require
putting locks on everything you buy, from the drawers where you may
store sensitive documents someday, to the fridge where the evil maid
may serve herself on your precious lagger.

The threat scenario has been massively ovehyped to justify giving keys
to the manufacturers.
