The documentation states that:
The Enterprise Continuum classes of assets may influence architectures, but are not directly used during the ADM architecture development.
My understanding is ADM creates and reuses building blocks from the Architecture repository and Enterprise Continuum is just a view of the Architecture repository and hence the building blocks are inherent in the Enterprise Continuum.
So how is it that the Enterprise Continuum is not directly related to ADM architecture development?
I think that there is a misleading wording in the TOGAF document. Per the document, "Enterprise Continuum" could mean two things with different scope:
First one is most people's understanding which classifies all the architecture assets in the Architecture Repository, and second one is the "not directly used" in your question.
In this case it's kind of confusing that Enterprise Continuum (#1) contains Enterprise Continuum (#2) (and also the other two of the three Continua).
