Squirt is one of the better dry lubes I know. I am using it now. The
issue that I have with wet lubes is that it attracks dirt and it
leaves a mess at your cassette which is difficult to clean. This is
solved by dry lube and as I said Squirt is one of the better ones.

Excellent, since I really dislike cleaning my chain and derailleur, and
I tend not to do it often enough.

During a wet ride it stays on very well but I recommend to lube your
chain again afterwards. Another issue with Squirt is that it
penetrates very slowly. Lube your chain one night before your next
ride. Lube intervals in general once every 250 km.

This is about twice more than what I currently do with wet lube. With
Squirt costing twice as much, and assuming I use the same volume each
time, it would make this about four times more expensive. Even if it
causes the chain to last longer, this would still be a comfort switch,
not an economic one, right?

Now, one other thing, if I do switch to dry lube, I think I need to
perfectly clean my chain, cassette and derailleur. How would you suggest
I do that, by removing them from my bike and washing them in some
petroleum spirit? (I currently use something that is called « pétrole
désaromatisé » in French, and I have no idea of what name it has in
English)
