I think Nd4 was very wise.
Maybe it was elementary for those looking at a computer.
White may consider Ne2 on next move. (but again, if computer will dispute that, then i trust the computer. I am more likely to do the hard work of checking it out with my own head, if i was playing in an actual game over the board in a tournament).
I must admit, the whole position, after this pawn acceptance on g5, is very provocative for inducing white to throw in some material or other goods, to get the attack going, but prematurely.

I don't think any of this is the issue here.
Atleast it depends on which cause of action we are trying to take, as white.

White has the advantage, Black's play is compromised, in both games.
