Keyoxide is a service that allows us to map a "user@domain" relationship to a list of account URIs.

WebFinger is a W3C recommendation for mapping a "user@domain" relationship to a list of account URIs.

There's some overlap here.

Querying Keyoxide profiles using WebFinger could simplify many things:

No need for a dedicated Keyoxide-only CLI; instead, implement a generic WebFinger CLI and point it at Keyoxide
It allows better isolation between the front-end and the back-end, since the front-end could just be a WebFinger client (see https://webfinger.net/ for an example)

This could also impact Keyoxide's relevance to profile hydration. I wrote more on my microblog.
