What kernel?
If it's a recent kernel, here is the logic which controls whether to show it:
if (test_opt(sb, DISCARD) && !(def_mount_opts & EXT4_DEFM_DISCARD))
seq_puts(seq, ",discard");
i.e. if "discard" is in the default mount options for the fs, it is not
shown, by design - although I am not 100% sure why that design decision
was made; that logic was explicitly added here:

ext4: Add mount options in superblock
Allow mount options to be stored in the superblock. Also add default
mount option bits for nobarrier, block_validity, discard, and nodelalloc.
Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <[email protected]>
which contained:
- if (test_opt(sb, DISCARD))
+ if (test_opt(sb, DISCARD) && !(def_mount_opts & EXT4_DEFM_DISCARD))
seq_puts(seq, ",discard");
so maybe Ted can speak to the reasoning behind it; I think the general philosophy
is to not show any defaults in /proc/mounts.
Thanks,

Indeed:
ierdnac-hp ~ # tune2fs -l /dev/sda3|grep discard
ierdnac-hp ~ #
ierdnac-hp ~ # cat /proc/mounts |grep discard
/dev/root / ext4 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr,acl,barrier=0,data=writeback,discard 0 0
Thank you for clarifing this !
