What is the matter with you?

Mine were fine - but I do have the bindings renamed to preserve them (and backd up) - it saves a lot of frustration and is simple to do: Plenty of guides on this forum, or even google it.
Or just rename the 3.0 & 4.0 Custom binds files (when you have the bindings to your requirements) to e.g. Horizons & Odyssey (which is all I did) and select version when playing.
Then when others get their Custom x.x bindings wiped you won't be sharing their frustration.
the bindings are a bit finicky, but it's not like it's going to change.
so either look for the guides so you can customize and backup them or... well... vent on the forums
(i never had any issues, but i have employed @STRONTIUM DOG guide of customizing and saving the said customization.
making sure you have your controllers connected before starting the game also is a good way to prevent the bindings resetting)

Well I do feel better now ..the bindings are a bit finicky, but it's not like it's going to change.

the same method can be employed for the odd too version 4.0.binds
only the startpreset will read the same x4 to cater for the new split control menu that's in odyssey
if method correctly used your problems should be over...………………

lost your binds? want hasstle free backed up binds look no further
keybindings can reset if you visit the control section without one of your usual devices used to play the game ie hotas , xbox pad etc not plugged in or at that present moment is undetected by windows as it thinks your just using keyboard and mouse it simply rewrites your binds for you...

I have a custom, renamed binding file and even then Update 13 managed to blank out some of my binds. E.g. I had numpad 1-8 assigned to emotes and they were all wiped. So was my 'hold Space to activate FA/off' setup, which reverted to toggle fa/off and no keybind. This, even though it was still using my renamed binding file.
As I play the game I keep discovering new keybinds that it's wiped out. Annoying.

Does everybody that has this issue use a flight stick?
I mean, I've literally had to reprogram nearly every key as I'm left handed and I've never had an issue, but I use mouse and keyboard. But I do plan on getting a flight stick maybe at the end of the year, so it would be nice to know if that's what causes it.

The only major keybind issue I ever had involved the game not remembering or saving my keybinds. The solution was to remove all the keybind files and start from the beginning, and I have had no problems since.
Being a player from the original Elite Dangerous alpha, I had a lot of legacy settings and files dating back years. And that meant a lot of clutter.

No, it would affect those who don't rename custom.xx.binds to something unique.
Although, recently, there have been automatically created backups of bindings made, just in case something went amiss and the last configuration needed to be recalled. (Custom.xx.backup)

I still don't know why they have not advertised for a computer programmer that knows how to code a "Save As" button for the controls settings. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Yes, the custom binds backups saved my bacon in the end, though you still have to go through each of the four control categories and re-select the custom file in each one.
Now that I realise I can re-name them to something else and then they dont get wiped, I shall be following this procedure in future. Thanks to Rat catcher, and Strontium Dog for the details on these.
Its still a poor show - no other game has this much trouble with user controls and updates. And ED has the most binding of any game I've come across, so you think they'd have it sorted...
Any-how level flight restored again.

I've never done that. Guess I've been lucky.
Without being too literal... I 'pledged' to Star Citizen...
You've obviously never played DCS.
DCS makes this game look like it has no control program options at all.
