(I can't change the item type to upgrade, so it is gonna be problem anyway.)
Now with the new netherite weapons, tridents are useless. Their durability is low, they don't accept the enchantments a sword does, so their combat damege don't change.
Tridents may be forgoten in near the future.
Thank you for your report!
