Being Disney, this doesn't surprise me.
But I think the third one left it at a good spot. It wrapped up all three movies quite nicely which is rare in trilogies.
Usually, trilogies are made for the sake of having the nice "trilogy" title to it. Like making a series of three makes it a prestigious series. And in those, typically the first one is a nice rounded movie, the second leaves it open-ended, and the third is more of a sequel to the second than a third chapter.
POTC had those elements in it, but I found the end of Davey Jones's locker and Barbossa reclaiming the Black Pearl gave a nice ending to the entire trilogy.
If anything, the next POTC should be a Jack Sparrow spinoff, like what X-Men is doing with Wolverine.

I too feel that they should leave this series alone. The last movie, although forty minutes to long, achieved a good ending for a decent series. I can see reason to make a jack sparrow spin off movie. His character is fun and the actor is credible but they should give it another five years before picking up again.
