"There is the possibility that they are setting Will up as the Anti-Davy Jones"
The writers have said that they intend to wrap up the series in a way that wouldn't easily allow for more movies (I don't remember exactly how they worded it), this could be a part of that. I can easily see Will roaming the oceans mysteriously saving people, rather than cursing them.

"loss almost always drives him either mad, into an insane revenge plot or into massive depression and/or suicide"
Poor Will. He can't catch a break - in the movies or the fanfic. :p
And I don't care for it when a character is destroyed (in fanfic) to enable a "ship." I'd much rather the character simply not be mentioned, or have his/her fate left to the reader's imagination. (And if they can find a canon or canon-adjacent reason for it all... *thumbs up* )
