Proper way of getting cell content?

The codebase has this line: https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-textract-textractor/blob/28d6110b08a3584edc4c87022a41d12961b88688/textractor/entities/table.py#L640

to retrieve the cell content. But there's already `cell.text`

I tried using `cell.text` but notice it's inaccurate. *Sometimes* it gives an empty string when it shouldn't.
Whereas `cell.__repr__().split(">")[1][1:]` gives more accurate results, although some characters are still missing.

What's going on?
