1. The rake structure at most sites is much more favorable at 2/4 than 1/2.
2. 1/2 is a popular method for clearing bonuses at many sites. Commonly the number of big bets required to trigger a raked hand is lower than for other low limits. Obviously bonus whores are bad for the game.
3. It's been said that live fish are used to 2/4 being the lowest stakes and many go directly to 2/4 instead of playing microlimits.
4. Mostly I have no idea why.
The real moral is that certain sites at certain times in history have experienced what I call "inversions" in which higher games are routinely better than lower games. It's something to be aware of because the extra money you make spends perfectly even if you can't explain it.
