I think he lost all his limbs before the lava set the rest of him on fire. ROTJ showed that he could still speak.

And he had control over what body he had left, Christopher Pike's mind was intact, but the rest of his body was kinda dead weight.

Star Wars was also made more then 10 years after Star Trek with a movie budget instead of a TV budget, so better special effects.

I think they needed Pike to be as paralyzed as he was for the sake of the plot. Bionics seems to be far behind in the Trek universe over Star Wars. Even a century later they were just up to replacement eyes for Jordy. Maybe they reserve the advanced robotics tech for alien species on that show.

Geordi LaForge.
They also did have Data, Picard had an artifical heart. They talked a lot about artifical limbs, Lenard McCoy said in TNG that most of his organs were artificial, Kira Nerys questioned her friend why he never got an artifical leg.
Nog also lost his leg and got a replacement, that was a big storyline.
Guess Star Trek was just never as flashy about it, also TV budget.

Even Geordi nearly a century later has artificial eyes much larger than his own. That is until a decade or two later when he finally gets the eyeball sized artificial eyes.

The answer is both, because all of their new stuff isn't as good as the old.
