I understand the dislike of physical buttons, but I don't understand why Apple doesn't at least put a capacitance button on there (like the 360 has).

Because those buttons are terrible, provide zero real feedback tactile or visual, and people hate them?

I think the CD popping out of the slot right next to the button would be enough feedback.
