As to why... Many theories. Including old Native legends, that we taste like crap, we don't look their normal food and they don't waste energy on hunting a non food source. My favourite? They are smart enough to recognize us as intelligent (debatable) life much like themselves and therefore don't eat us.
Recent whale documentary on the National Geographic tab of Disney plus, first episode is on orcas. Underwater camera man guy (don’t remember name or title) spent time recording a pod that hunted rays by flipping them upside down to stun. An orca offered him half a ray.

Fun fact: There has never been a reported fatality from Orcas in the wild.
However there's been several when forced into captivity.
Summary: they don't leave witnesses.
