Many EVs (all Teslas, Kia EV6/Hyundai Ioniq 5, probably others) have a method for locking the EVSE to the car itself while charging/plugged in.
For when you're not charging, that's what a lockbox of some sort is useful for as others have suggested. You need to weatherproof an outdoor outlet in the first place, so going the extra step of having an enclosure for the EVSE isn't too much harder or more expensive. Nobody is going to cut an EVSE cable... since if they do they're likely to get a tasty 240V.
