Doesn't he? Grievous was clearly slower then ROTS Obi-Wan, who was jumping arround him and easily took two of his hands. The same Grievous was inferior (LoE) or far inferior (old CW) to Dooku in terms of speed and techniqe.
He, in fact, stomped a group of Jedi, including two powerful Masters - Shaak Ti and Ki-Adi Mundi. The problem is, that they had no idea what they are dealing with and were exhousted, possibly hurt (perhaps even after a massive starship crush).
You had a good example in TCW: Kenobi, exhausted after a small ship crush, was even unable to stom Maul from choking him.
In terms of strenght...what does it gives to Grievous? It was useful against unarmed combat against Kenobi, but in a duel? He wasn't even able to overpower him in saber lock. It wasn't even helpful against physically inferior Dooku.
As Darth Power pointed, Dooku even stated, that jedi like Cin Drallig should be superior to Grievous on neutral ground.
Even Asajj Ventress in a comic that was basing on old CW, was able to overhelm Grievous in pure lightsaber combat at some point.

Grievous being better than Maul in sabers is nonsense, even TPM Maul stalemated season 4 Kenobi who was far closer to his prime than any Kenobi Grievous stalemated and that's ignoring Maul's growth as a fighter, Grievous got shit stomped by ROTS Kenobi.
Do you not understand how and why people beat other characters? Grievous was beaten by Kenobi so decisively because is designed to beat Grievous. Mace Windu didn’t insta-stomp Grievous because Grievous has a height and reach advantage and can contend comfortably in the technique area. Putting canon aside (canon adds all kinds of problems), Maul has no showings to show that he could overcome Grievous once Grievous began his onslaught. Dooku can overcome Grievous as well as he can because of a number of factors, few of which Maul is
in possession of.
Shadow Conspiracy Kenobi does not share much parity with his ROTS Kenobi and you have yet to prove to me that Maul’s training of Savage somehow bumps him up to the level of Grievous. Kenobi never stalemated Grievous in Legends which is the only continuity that I’m willing to discuss

There are some sources that are a parot of both, Canon and Legends. Movies are the best example, but so is TCW. Do not forget, that a great Legend's sources like "Darth Plagueis" are linked to sources like TCW. Is it you, who determine Legends borders? Or is it somewhere confirmed?
TCW can't fully be Legends though, parts of it can, but wholly it cannot.

Me, earlier
I'm going to presume that you like to ignore Canon because you feel like it portrays Grievous as weak. Let's see if it's true.
