Bad blocks are only reallocated when you write to them.  Since they are 
bad, you can't read the previous contents anyway, so it does not matter 
whether the OS cared about it before or not.

You seem to not understand the fundamental purpose of TRIM.  Hard disks 
only reallocate blocks when they go bad.  SSDs move blocks around all 
the time.  That process can be optimized if the drive knows that the OS 
does not care about certain blocks.  Hard drives don't do this, so they 
have no reason to support TRIM.
