Sure, one could define “evil” that way for an object, though I don’t think it is that commonly done. It is not the usage of “evil” meant in this post, however.

A semantic quibble: it can make sense to denote some inanimate objects as evil, if you operationalize “evil” as “will do harm if more-than-default caution isn’t paid to it”, which seems more commonly useful than “malevolent”, though of course it’s also entirely subjective.
