BUG: Fixing regression in DataFrame.all and DataFrame.any with bool_only=True

doc/source/whatsnew/v0.24.1.rst

@@ -58,6 +58,7 @@ Fixed Regressions
 - Fixed regression in :func:`merge` when merging an empty ``DataFrame`` with multiple timezone-aware columns on one of the timezone-aware columns (:issue:`25014`).
 - Fixed regression in :meth:`Series.rename_axis` and :meth:`DataFrame.rename_axis` where passing ``None`` failed to remove the axis name (:issue:`25034`)
 - Fixed regression in :func:`to_timedelta` with `box=False` incorrectly returning a ``datetime64`` object instead of a ``timedelta64`` object (:issue:`24961`)
+- Fixed regression in :meth:`DataFrame.all` and :meth:`DataFrame.any` where ``bool_only`` as ``True`` was ignored (:issue:`25101`)
