Because of the fact these unbreakable chains are meant to stop Superman from saving a random little girl abducted by an alien *******.
The entire series is about the value of a single human life, and the lengths Superman will go to to save that one life.
It's a really good story, you should read it.

This is the closest I can find to Thor breaking Adamantium:

Adamantium is historically very unbreakable in Marvel history, and has resisted Thor's strongest attacks. I 100% think Thor has a much better chance of breaking the chains in the OP scans than Adamantium. Adamantium has such significance in Marvel, even if he did break it, it would be retconned eventually.
Then again, I thought the same of Cap's shield, and now it's had to be reinforced by Asgardian Uru to have the same invulnerability it use to have story-wise.
