What are *.userosscache files generated by Visual Studio?

They're mentioned in .gitignore template for Visual Studio, provided by GitHub:
https://github.com/github/gitignore/blame/d0b80a46/VisualStudio.gitignore#L10

But I couldn't google anything intelligible on this extension. The only idea I have is that "oss" here means "Object Storage Service".

What are these files, what are they for, and what creates them (maybe some VS plugin)?

As noted in the 8 years-old commit which introduced that file:

I haven't found good documentation for this file online, but it is a user based file that should be ignored.

Since the OP reports OSS is "Object Storage Service", this could be a file generated by GitLab and its "Consolidated object storage configuration" support.
When integrated with Visual Studio, such a service might leave some local file for caching.
