I'm not sure this is fully true. My brother lives in a flat that had cladding issue and has suffered personally.
Edit. Sorry I see you say "at best".

My wife works for the Building Safety Fund so I'm sure that it exists, but also hear a lot of stories about the crushing Orwellian nightmare of being a leaseholder in one of these flats. I feel so bad for everyone in that situation right now.
@lynx I agree but I assume the approach is fix the problems now and (theoretically) recoup the money later. Obviously it will never be recouped, though

There are the government-sponsored Cladding Remediation Funds and a Building Safety Fund valued at £1.6bn (per the most recent source I can find). So the cost has been passed on to the taxpayer at best, and currently remains with leaseholders in non-qualifying cases.
