I added an argument to MainContentExtractor.extract() that bypasses the check for article elements and causes the function to use Trafilatura if there is no main element found in the html. I think this is helpful because I've found that some webpages have article elements that don't contain the page's main content and the main content is found elsewhere on the webpage.
A further improvement to the logic could be using the contents of article elements only if it contains text above a minimum character count, or above a minimum percentage of all the text found on the webpage, but this is just an idea.
