Unarmed strikes, being weird, fall into a crack in the rules. Specifically, the second rule you mentioned does not apply because it is only for attacks with a weapon.

Pathfinder 2e removes the capability for Small/Medium ("Standard") creatures (read: PC-like) to wield particularly odd-sized equipment. There are no rules whatsoever about Tiny/Large/Huge/Gargantuan creatures because the GM's should be making their best judgement regarding them. For me, that would mean treating the weapon as either unable to be used, or it's Light/Heavy version if available.
