"Changes in A have no effect on B, and vice versa" is a bit more cumbersome that "A is orthogonal to B".

  Isn’t it easier to say A is independent from B?

    Exactly the same number of words.

    Orthogonal adds the idea that the two could be combined and achieve something more, a.k.a it would imply the use of the word "synergy" as well which might be even more exotic for the OP.

      Orthogonal also seems to me to be more symmetric, independence (for example in the political sense) need not be: Scotland gaining independence from the UK does not imply the converse in a natural sense.
