There's probably some big conspiracy behind that, if you ask the right fans. Disney's probably trying to persuade everyone J/E was a minor subplot at best, not the overarching love story of POTC. *BG*
(Now me, I just figure they're pushing the two main male characters because a lot of stuff is aged for kids, and pirate stuff has usually been "for boys" and young boys don't usually want girl dolls and t-shirts. Which I think is a little narrow given modern sensibilities - my boss's 3-year-old totally loved her Jack Sparrow sippy cup I bought her - but whatever, Disney dumbasses. I'm not good at "conspiracy" stuff outside covert government activities, LOL.)
