Sorry, if i was too provocative. I apologize. I did not want to talk you down, but rather to provoke your think in new ways.

So that you ask yourself a few core question about titans

1 - why does the mindless titan (titan form holding a human soul captive and asleep) wants to eat other humans ? What is it he is looking for that humans may have ?

2 - why does a titan shifter still need to do the same, if he wants to steal a new power from another titan ? And what is it exactly that he has to eat from the other titan to gain that new power ?

3 - with Ymir,  we have a case where a mindless titan switch from one category of titan to the other.

So why is this so interesting ? what is her experience pointing at ?

4 - also, it's interesting to notice that titans do not really need to eat. The sun light is enough to keep them alive. So food is not why they want to eat. And also, why are they only keen on humans ?

My assumption are simple

A - Titans  do not eat for food. Sunlight is enough for them.

B - Therefore titan eat, only because he wants to awake from his mindlessness. Or he has to do that to steal a power he needs.

C - Brainless titan are brainless, but they know on instinct that they can heal/free themselves, if they eat the right guy. Being dumb, they just eat every guy, wit the instinctual hope of awakening from their nightmare.

E - In other words, they eat with the hope to gain the effect from the substance in the spinal cord, like Ymir did.. .

Also, that the reason why they do not care about how much or how clean they eat. They just need/want to taste the spinal cord of a regular human to make sure he is not capable of healing them. That's all.

Once they have done it, they can spit his head away. They do not care any longer.

At least, that the way i understand it.
