Magento 2: Is it no longer possible to load Quotes by ID?

In the past, to load a quote by id, i used to use the factory:

protected $quoteFactory;

public function __construct(
    ...
    MagentoQuoteModelQuoteFactory $quoteFactory,
    ....
) {
    ....
    $this->quoteFactory = $quoteFactory;
    ....
}

But since moving on, it is more recommended to use the service contract:

protected $cartRepository;

public function __construct(
    ...
    MagentoQuoteApiCartRepositoryInterface $cartRepository,
    ....
) {
    ....
    $this->quoteRepository = $cartRepository;
    ....
}

However this will give me a Cart API, and some of the functions available in Quote like getAllItems i cannot use via the Cart service, the function getItems only lists visible ones (meaning it will exclude children items of a configurable item). Is this designed to be this way in order to restrict bad practices or how can i retrieve a quote using the quote_id or the Cart service?
