I never got him to tell me why, but my psychopharm professor/guru when I was at syracuse university told me that MAO-B is not all bad, and that people shouldn't go around inhibiting it for no reason. As much as I still think selegiline is a wonderful drug, and as much as I know about the health benefits of not having MAO-B around, I cannot completely discount his statement. Until I see evidence that MAO-B is as vestigial as the appendix, I'm going to hold a position that inhibiting MAO-B significantly is good for a whole slew of applications and conditions, but that it's not as inoccuous as taking a multivitamin.
