I do not understand why so many thing database independence
is a fallacy?

Well, there are at least two separate scenarios here:

1. The WhizBang(TM) product or project originally used Oracle but must now
use SQL Server instead.
2. The WhizBang(TM) product originally used Oracle but must now also support
SQL Server.

It's the second case that's problematic.  From the perspective of
maintaining code, testing, documenting and providing support, you really do
have two products and not one.
