Black 25 is an important point that increases Black's potential on the upper side and reduces White's left side. AlphaGo plays these kinds of moves fairly early in all these games, so it clearly considers this to be a very big move. An extension towards the side, at, say, A, would not be very satisfying, taking White on a small scale. In fact, a lot of Black's plays here are aimed at making the upper side important on a large scale. White's trying to start something in the lower left and Black doesn't want to be pushed around here.
