Why can't MacOS just TELL ME which program is using the drive I'm trying to eject rather than just have me guess?
That said, after I learned about how to use lsof, I found this little free app called =Sloth (and its github page ), which is just a nice native Mac app serving as a GUI for lsof. It'll let you know exactly which process to quit or kill so your drive can eject happily.

The Icelandic Saga Database
Random fact; this website is created and maintained by Sveinbjörn Þórðarson who also made Platypus (https://github.com/sveinbjornt/Platypus) and Sloth (https://github.com/sveinbjornt/Sloth) — software that Mac nerds might be familiar with.
Sveinbjörn is a ball of energy that just radiates positives for human society.
