Distant galaxies beyond NGC 1350 can be seen thru and around it, even close to the center where a black hole most likely exists, but there doesn't seem to be any distortion of the light we are seeing due to gravitational lensing. Why not?

yup

Look closer, esp. from the 9:00 to 12:00 quadrant - there are several.
