Well Debian has unfortunately a not so short history in sometimes doing rather questionable things in terms of security (*cough* openssl *cough*). ;-) But I guess this wrong mindset how to deal with security, i.e. not even letting stuff that is targeted fully towards security have that as priority can be found everywhere. One would have expected that eventually something is learned from history (spectre and meltdown are best examples), but apparently this is not the case. Anyway, guess there is nothing more upstream can/should do about this... it's good to have an option to enable TRIM (for those who deliberately want it) and it's good that it's not the default. If distros choose to possibly weaken security, it's up to them and unfortunately their users.
