Hotfix AN-128790 may not be applied - Verify your 25.2 environment has the latest hotfixes installed.

Cache issue - Clear browser cache and log out/in, or check if you're in Designer mode instead of end-user view.

Thanks, I set the rule like that and I was still able to see the site tab using system administrators account. Is there any possible reason ?

No, visibility rules like Only show when = false() are not overridden for System Administrators in 25.2; the issue was fixed via hotfix AN-128790 in 20.4+ with latest hotfixes.
