Translation : I didn't see the red button on the wall.

Aside from the fact that I don't recall seeing a red light as a button before then, the thing is it didn't even register as a separate element to the yellow door. Just assumed it was a red light next to the door because it's not exactly unusual to see lights on sci-fi doors or anything.
I guess I'd better start mashing the use button on everything that isn't obviously just a generic wall texture from now on. Lesson learned!

1993 Level Design Was Mostly Functional

Decorations were created through 2D sprites or integrated into the textures themselves. They didn't use separate textures with separate geometry like that, IIRC. So, anything that stands out is interactive.
Duke Nukem 3D did, but it came out later.

How else would you find any secrets?

ffs, are there really big red lights all over everything you'd been taught to ignore by level four?
probably lots, in games that came after doom.

eh, i can see the design flaw, the button to open the bridge is accessible before you open the yellow key door, but the bridge is after the yellow key door. If you push it before opening the door, you don't know what it does, and after you enter the door and see the bridge you won't think that you need to revisit cleared areas to find a button.

TL,DR: Welcome To 24 Years Ago.

I hope he looks back at the original levels for scale reference. This new map of his was waaaaay too cramped and fiddly. Spoiled what would otherwise have been a pretty good oldskool experience.

No
He said he'll map. Not necessarily for either Doom or Q1.

If He Makes Q1 Maps That'd Be Sooo Great

Exciting times.

I wouldn't be quick to believe that is very likely.
I've seen astronomers argue in the past why the odds of another large planet in the solar system are exceeding poor, and there are numerous reasons.
If they can prove it, those astronomers will sure be wrong --- but until this idea is proved it runs against conventional wisdom in astronomy in a great many ways.
