Question #199027 on Sikuli changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/199027

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
The difference is based on the fact, that Region.text() (reading text
from a given region on the screen) internally works totally different
than searching for some given text somewhere on the screen (or inside a
smaller given region).

So if your search need not be on text, because it varies (in content,
font, background, ...), it is easier, to either use captured images or
even calculated offsets to click on.

e.g. since you want to click on "Work" and already know the region
(scnAct3), why not click on an offset from the center of the region?
