It is not a precise moment to play this move because black's position will get active with a typical combination.

๐Ÿ“˜ 24.Qe3!
Using the queen to control dark squares. The d-pawn is unambiguously strong, the knights eyeing f7 and well placed to prevent any serious blockade on d6. Meanwhile white threatens g4, followed by f4 and g5.

๐Ÿ“• 18...Bc6!
The key move that secures the blockade of d5. 19.Nxc6 bxc6! Simple issues. d4 is more vulnerable than c6, and the choice of minor piece exchanges enhances this fact. OK, so the trade of dark-squared bishops is not necessarily detrimental to White who would also like to claim control over the blockading square c5, but he would very much like to still have a knight.
