Well, genomic data is objectively discrete rather than continuous. And even if you really wanted to approach it as "continuums", what dimensions could you possibly use?
Perhaps you mean to say that strains should be defined in a fuzzy manner? If so, from my very limited knowledge of systematics, they already are.
