I do read my migration scripts generated from an ORM to make sure my source code is correct.

Liquibase starts with "Write your database change code in your preferred authoring tool in SQL, YAML, JSON, or XML." So instead of just having my ORM generate that and I just have to read them to ensure correctness, I have to manually write change scripts instead? I don't see how that's is comparable.

Liquibase could certainly come in after I have some SQL scripts generated from my ORM and do whatever it does.

For some reason, programmers still think that writing is always slower than reading

Not-writing is infinitely faster than writing. Writing doesn't keep you having to read.
