What happens if you don’t TRIM SSD?

SSD media can only write to empty file pages, but they can only erase a file block (collection of pages, normally around 128).

TRIM allows adding to that, by telling the SSD what space you aren’t using, because otherwise it won’t know (deleting a file normally does not clear out the space it used). Pretty much all of them allow a trick to increase the amount they can use as spare, beyond what is set at the factory, by leaving unpartitioned space at the end of the drive.
