It's not so much selfishness, I think. Some men may prefer to stay anonymous so there's no conflict with the birth parents when their child tracks him down, for example. Maybe they don't realise they have any responsibility to the child.
They're not saying they don't want to help unable-to-conceive couples, they just don't want anything to do with the baby after their bit is done. Some might, I know if I donated my eggs I'd want it to be to a friend or family member.
I think there should maybe be an option to say "no, I don't want to be tracked down" and that information made available to the birth parents when they choose their donor.
