You are, once again, misunderstanding.
The cited webpage says:
"If you are using OpenStreetMap map images, we request that your credit
reads at least '© OpenStreetMap contributors, CC-BY-SA'. If you are using
map data only, we request 'Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors,
CC-BY-SA'."
That is perfectly correct. If you build (say) your own rendering using OSM
map data, then only the map data is (c) OpenStreetMap contributors. The
added value of the rendering is not (c) OpenStreetMap contributors. OSM's
contributors can ask you to credit them in a particular way for the data,
and you have to maintain that in any credit given with the rendering, but
you may of course request your own credit for the added value. That is what
the above says.
However, the rendering _is_ still subject to CC-BY-SA. That is made
perfectly clear on the cited page ("If you... build upon our... data, you
may distribute the result only under the same licence"); in the CC
"human-readable" terms; and the CC legal code.
