What do you want them to do - spend more and replace the frames and front door as well?
Maybe they are trying to do the bare minimum to get building regs approval without “unnecessary” costs? I am sure some leaseholders would support that strategy.
NickCJ-
That bare minimum approach is what has caused the majority of the cladding crisis.

I want them to either do something meaningful with our money or not to waste it- my suspicion is that the current works are a waste of time and money as they do not go far enough, so I’d prefer they didn’t do them at all (too late now however) or, do them to a standard that has some meaning.

Dammit
The managing agent has commissioned some works (with a section 20) to upgrade the ceilings and wiring in our block. Unbeknownst to us, that also means removing a couple of access doors (one for the electricity meter, the other for coal delivery (1930's block) with fire panel plasterboard to give a burn through time of 30 minutes.
However, to do this they're removing the door (wood) and leaving the frame (also wood), and ignoring the front door (wood, in a wood frame). Strikes me that this is performative rather than genuine change, and it's costing us thousands of pounds. Am I being too cynical?
