Default Left Behind?

This was taken at an inspection today. It appears to be some short of apparatus used by the builder to hoist things up maybe? Any comments.

Temporary truss brace used during erection, not worth the trouble to remove?

I usually see them in attics with furnaces. I think they are used to hoist the HVAC system into the attic. Too much trouble to remove.
