In the modern game there is a tendency for players to worry less about structural weaknesses in their positions if they can obtain compensation in terms of active piece-play, control of the centre, etc.
It is very difficult to play a strong novelty on move 25, as the position will probably never occur in your games. It's better to find a novelty around move 10 or 15, as then you will have a good chance to be able to play it over the board.
