Grenfell should have had a Dry Riser.

No, Grenfell should *not* have had that disastrous cladding.

A fire resistant window to the flat where the fire started would have
avoided it getting to the cladding.

True, though I am not sure how easy that is to engineer. OK, wired glass
would work, but that's not so nice for residential accomodation. I guess
"bulletproof" glass would provide 30 minute or better resistance, but
would standard sealed double glazing work even in metal frames? (I'm not
sure exactly what did fail).
