I remember an early (season 2?) DS9 episode where Sisko had to remind Dax that one of her previous hosts had a specific skill which they needed in that situation, but Dax was like “Oh yeah you’re right.” So either these memories are so deep in their subconsciousness or… I don’t know.
As I said, I don’t like the Trill as a concept and they were regularly my least favourite episodes in DS9.
That it’s not consistent what Trill remember and what not. Sometimes Dax knows everything about her former hosts, sometimes nothing. Sometimes the hosts are important, sometimes the symbiont.

And what is bad about that?

Writing inconsistency is a curse for any long-running property. Dismissing past lore or formal definitions irks me deeply.
But it wasn’t consistent in Deep Space 9 already, within a couple of seasons, sometimes episodes.
