Rather than giving you a fish, I will teach you how to fish, aka use the AI review to find out the answer yourself. Look at the suggested variation:

After sente exchange d5 black plays a15 and white plays 4 at f17 rather than falsifying eye at c13 so black ends up playing there and living. This tells you that white saw a weakness around f17 which needed defending and if white tried to kill black would do something using the fact there wasn’t a white stone at f17 to counterattack and live. So look for that.

I think the reason is that with the game sequence, this atari wasn’t sente (capturing wouldn’t make an eye)

Whereas with this sequence it would be sente.
