Brakes can bind due to several factors, including worn or damaged brake components, such as calipers, rotors, or pads, which can prevent the brake from fully releasing. Corrosion or debris in the brake system can also cause binding, as can a malfunctioning brake booster or master cylinder. Additionally, improper installation or lack of lubrication on the brake hardware can lead to sticking, resulting in binding. Regular maintenance and inspection can help prevent these issues.

Can be a defective proportioning valve but that is very rare. I would say check for a sticking caliber but that would never happen on all 4 wheels at the same time. Do check for a bent brake line going from the master cylinder. Make sure the brake lever from the pedal to the master cylinder is not binding.
