Is there any explanation for why there is no button next to the eject tray to open it on Macs? I know you can open the tray by pushing the arrow key in the far right corner of your key pad but it took me a while to figure that out.

The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.
Therefore to clarify:
- You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
- This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
- You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
- You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Because there is no tray eject button because there is no tray. It is a slot load drive. Why have 2 buttons for the same thing?
I guess because it would make too much sense.

You can also drag the disc to the trash to eject it.
Also, you can add an eject icon to your menu bar at the top. See instructions on how to here:
Eject CD: Add a Menu Bar Item to Eject a CD or DVD

Maybe we got us a troll?
Not a troll. Just someone who is finding it extremely challenging to figure out Final Cut Pro and Macs in general. I came to this forum because I thought it was a place to get help with Final Cut Pro. It is disappointing that there are a few people here who have such a negative attitude towards people who genuinely need assistance.

It's a bad idea to try and undertake two simultaneous big challenges at the same time, and you sound like you're under a deadline as well. Bad mix.
I'd suggest taking some time and learning the Mac. Mac 101 and Switch 101 can be of great help to get you up to speed on the basics.
THEN dive into Final Cut Pro, and you'll probably find it easier going, since you will now understand the underlying technologies that FCP leverages.
