I don't see that as being there for exposition so much as for a joke. But maybe people really were confused, I don't know. I though the character motivations were all pretty clear and straightforward so I guess it comes down to just disagreeing.

One thing, in discussing Jack's character is that while he sacrificed Will to Davy Jones he also showed an expectation that Will would be able to get the key. As soon as Will was on the Flying Dutchman Jack switched off to persue the chest instead of the key. Similarly, he showed faith that Will would be able to lead an escape of the imprisoned crew and help him escape the cannibal island.
