Yes it would - but I have too many irons in the fire right now.
Gotta pick your battles.

A homeowner type door/window supplier should be able to get you a new window unit. You probably can't buy the frame alone.

I just did that on my steel skinned and foam insulated door. The frame was made from plastic and I suspect it was not UV resistant because it started splitting everywhere.
I also used packing tape as a temporary fix.
I used wood brick mold to recreate the molding. I put the thin side to the glass and the fat side to the door skin. I cut a rabbet to fit. I replaced both the interior and exterior frames.
On the original the molding was screwed to the steel skin on the door. For my replacement I went through the door with wood screws and screwed into the molding on the opposite side. I used screws both on the interior and exterior moldings.
I filled the screw holes with wood putty and painted the exterior. I have not gotten around to painting the interior yet.
It looks pretty good and the construction is robust. I expect it to last.

The molding on mine was made from plastic. I used the brick molding on which I cut a rabbet.

My mistake was fitting the individual pieces to the opening. I should have assembled it into a frame first and then installed it. I used a waterproof adhesive and I screwed through two door skins and into the molding on the other side of the door. The plastic molding was just screwed to the door skin (light gauge steel). Once I used the wood filler on the outside I painted and all the imperfections disappeared. I have not painted the interior yet and that is what we are looking at here.
I tried photographing the exterior which has been finished and painted, but the glossy black paint obscures all the detail.
