I think I would've played F6 instead of G5, to try keeping things more symmetric.]

Black certainly seems to be winning anyway, but at least locally, this is bad\:

Other than C4, Black has the whole A1 corner, since C3 escapes all ladders along the 1-edge which might, without running into C4, go towards A1.

After the B5-C4 exchange, White's C5 group is (still) connected to the A-edge, so since Black has the rest of the A1 corner anyway, the result is White gets C4 for free.

Without the B5-C4 exchange, Black might play C4 threatening A6, or play A6 threatening B4 and C4.]
