Unarmed strike + natural weapon works exactly the same as manufactured weapon + natural weapon.
"You can make attacks with natural weapons in combination with attacks made with a melee weapon and unarmed strikes, so long as a different limb is used for each attack.[...] When you make additional attacks in this way, all of your natural attacks are treated as secondary natural attacks" CRB pg. 182

For example, you cannot make a claw attack and also use that hand to make attacks with a longsword. When you make additional attacks in this way, all of your natural attacks are treated as secondary natural attacks, using your base attack bonus minus 5 and adding only 1/2 of your Strength modifier on damage rolls.
When you combine natural attacks with weapons or unarmed attacks, all your natural attacks become secondary attacks.
If you want a reason why, when you make weapon attacks or unarmed attacks, you are using your body in a way that is very different from when you are using natural attacks, so you end up hampering them.
