Noone, as far as I know.

u = User-based Security Model.

SNMPv2u consists of the SNMP v2 protocol messages with the User-based
Security Model specified in RFC 1910 in 1996.

This model was accepted for use in the final SNMPv3 standards but the
original specifications were declared obsolete and replaced by the SNMP v3
specifications which are now full standards.

I have never heard of a commercial management system that implements v2u.

The usual choice is between:
-  v1  (SNMP v1 protocol, community string plain text authentication, no
privacy)
- v2c (SNMP v2 protocol, community string plain text authentication, no
privacy)
- v3   (SNMP v2 protocol, full authentication and privacy with the
User-based Security Model)
