I never connected to anyone in On Stranger Tides because the writing never makes a considerable effort to flesh out the characters. William's sacrifice feels earned because we've been with these characters for a few films. One of the reasons At World's End is a much better film is because there are stakes in that film. The Pirates films at their best when the stakes are high but are also grounded with some realism. I don't necessarily think it was the best idea to make Sparrow the only character with significant depth, but I also don't think having the story involve mermaids and an overly powerful supernatural villain either. On Stranger Tides featured Sparrow at the center of everything, which can be a good and bad thing.
After the original trilogy, there wasn't much story left to tell with Will and Elizabeth, so Disney wished to continue the franchise putting a heavier focus on Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow.
