If someone is considering an "evil maid" style attack, the objective is to compromise your security without you knowing (so that you will continue using the device believing it is still secure). "Asking nicely" isn't going to accomplish that.

What for? You want to gain access to some data or lear something or get access to one of my clients.

"Asking nicely" is how intelligence/counter-intelligence recruits their assets - some are bought some are forced.
