What is this vertical bar tow hitch?

Anyone know what this style of tow hitch is for? Never seen anything like it, doesn’t seem too strong or anything think it’s on a Subaru

Easy place to attach a strap to pull something out. I have one for my CJ5.

Huh fair enough. I’d figure the small diameter/bend radius isn’t ideal for attaching a strap but not heavy duty
