"Tray" type players are used because they are less likely to allow damage to the discs... (scratches)...........producing "scuffs".....(My term for used cds).

As for the car example, a "tray" sticking out of the dash would not only be vulnerable to damage,..... but some would try to use it as a cup holder for their "big gulps".
