On the receiving side, I would not like this, I don't want a random person influencing my priority inbox. Would likely create filters to send them to spam.

Someone paying to prioritize their email would indicate low quality sender to me.

On the sender side, why can't I just add the same PRIORITY INBOX subject text on my own.

The real issue is that senders don't take the time to understand and write a personalized email. I don't think charging them will improve the quality or situation.

Do you think using templates for certain kinds of emails would improve the quality of communication?

Like how there are issue templates on Github, say you defined a template which recruiters could use to approach you.
