I found one shoulder bolt manufacturer that lists the single shear strength of their fastener's thread neck section to the shoulder section at roughly a 3:1 ratio. At that ratio, it looks to me that the material and thread processing could be grossly less than the stock studs and the shouldered design could compensate.
