** Will would have had to forsake his duties, even if only for a few minutes, to rescue Henry when he tried to drown himself. The second he crossed back to the land of the living, the mutations set in because he wasn't doing his job. Heck, the fact that Henry is ''still alive'' is an example of Will forsaking his duties since he's not supposed to make exceptions for who lives and dies, except for when he's recruiting crew members.

** Considering Will doesn't seem to be that fond of his duty at this point, it's possible that he released his father from service. Remember, that was his original goal in stopping Jones. So once he'd spent enough time bonding and reconnecting with his father, he finally let him take his final rest. Even if Bootstrap wanted to spend eternity with Will, he probably could have been convinced to rest in peace if his son insisted upon it.

** The curse on Cortez's treasure had nothing inherent to do with the sea. The fact that its victims happened to be pirates was a later coincidence.

** Even in this film, Barbossa himself considers the trident unfindable. If the idea came up during the years they were cursed, he likely would have dismissed it and considered it easier to return every piece of the Aztec treasure and pay back the blood.

** Even stuck in her mortal form, Tia Dalma's magic was clearly powerful enough to resurrect Barbossa. Who's to say Calypso didn't resurrect Davy Jones after Will killed him? She almost certainly would've been powerful enough. Perhaps that resurrection unbound him from the Dutchman, but either left him in his monster form, or Calypso left him like that intentionally as punishment for trapping her, and could keep him in that form through her own power after the trident was destroyed.
