It lets you define a value as appears in Window -> Preferences -> Run/Debug -> String Substitution. Those in turn can be used in various places, such as in launch configurations so that a "named" value can be declared in one place and reused in many places.

For example, I have this in my user.setup:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:CompoundTask
    xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
    filter="(osgi.os=win32)"
    name="Windows">
  <setupTask
      xsi:type="setup:StringSubstitutionTask"
      name="maven.root"
      value="C:\develop\bin\apache-maven-3.6.3"/>
</setup:CompoundTask>

Cheers
