they have organic parts, but they are created, and seen simply as machines by the general public. especially with enhanced wyfexes, there is a big market for spare parts and synthetic organs, and often they end up replacing everything organic over time with tech. their brain is essentially a motherboard of a computer, and it's the only part that cannot be replaced, if personality, memories, etc. are something that's valued.
Arcus has mused about this in a portal entry:

there are also general things about wyfexes and specifics about Arcus on her talisman challenge, and a character development prompt:

i'd love to write a full thing about wyfexes as a species some day, but knowing they've been in development since 2015, i'm not hopeful for it happening too soon, pfft. but i'm extremely grateful that someone is interested, it does spark a small flame to be noticed. ♥

Howdy there! Finally getting around to reading these. I can't comment on the original post of the first link, so I'm dropping the comment here.
"Her kind was built that way. She was built to be replaced." That line really got to me. It made it click just how messed up Arcus' society is.

eeyup : D the enhanced wyfexes are a classical case of "being preoccupied with whether they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should". no one actually thought what would happen if they just plopped another species into the already established society. spoiler: it didn't end well lol.
