Yes, the larger thread diameter gives more area in shear around the bolt,
therefore the ½ bolt connection will take more load. Also, the larger
thread (13 per inch, rather than 20 per inch) also makes each thread a bit
stronger.

1/2-13. Makeup torque is very important.

What's stronger in tensile strength?
1/4-20 thread tapped into a 1/4" aluminum plate?
or
1/2-13 thread tapped into a 1/4" aluminum plate?
