He’s a Kaleesh that was transformed into a cyborg. Pretty much the only parts that remain of his original body are his eyes, brain, and the rest of his organs.
OK. Basically another Vader with more stuff damaged/replaced. Since the lung obviously doesn’t work properly either, I would have replaced that as well.
If the lung itself is the force bearer that might be the reason to keep it.
Silly, but… well.
He’s not force sensitive, so that’s a good point. It’s clear the lung wasn’t working correctly, so they should’ve replaced it.
After they got done operating on him the first time and wheeled him in front of a mirror, he probably decided then and there to avoid any more surgical procedures at all costs.
I believe in canon he volunteered to be turned into a cyborg, and it was done over several years, at least according to these statues that show him at different stages of the process;

In Legends, however, his ship was bombed by Dooku and he was turned into Grievous to “save his life”. It’s very possible in Legends that he just didn’t want his lungs fixed after what was done to him initially, not sure what the reason is in canon, though.
