Why does property sub-object accept str for value?

Why does property sub-object accept str for value? Shouldn't it always just be some type of number?

src/cript/nodes/subobjects/property.py

    @beartype
    def __init__(
        self,
        key: str,
        type: str,
        value: Union[Number, str, None],
        unit: Union[str, None],
        uncertainty: Optional[Number] = None,
        uncertainty_type: str = "",
        component: Optional[List[Material]] = None,
        structure: str = "",
        method: str = "",
        sample_preparation: Optional[Process] = None,
        condition: Optional[List[Condition]] = None,
        data: Optional[List[Data]] = None,
        computation: Optional[List[Computation]] = None,
        citation: Optional[List[Citation]] = None,
        notes: str = "",
        **kwargs
    ):

would it be possible to make this from value: Union[Number, str, None] to value: Optional[Number]?

I think this was because the API expects a number value to be sent in the JSON, but when it returns it gives a string value, and the SDK needs to allow string for deserializing JSON nodes
