What is hardwarecompileuser?

This is the username of the person who compiled the currently running kernel or firmware image. Admins use it mainly for build provenance and troubleshooting, confirming whether a device is running an official release build versus an engineer's custom or debug build. For example, this object returning a personal username alongside a non-standard hardwareosversion would alert an admin that the device is running a developer build rather than a production release.
