They don't attack us because it would waste calories and risk injury in exchange for nothing.

There are plenty of videos of Orcas and other dolphins playing in the wild. I don't think they're generally on a super tight caloric budget.

They specifically remove the liver of sharks and ignore the rest ... they could do that with humans, too.

A great white shark's liver is huge, heavy, and oily. I'm not sure an orca could physically even accomplish the task of separating out a human liver and if it did, it sure wouldn't be satisfying.
